no thanks, i dont like compiler errors for my documentation.

By the time it came to writing my thesis at age 37 I had already dedicated twenty years learning the vagueries of MS Word and ten debugging compilation errors of MATLAB. There was no way I was going to take on another language at that point.

This was short sighted because all it meant is that I didn't have any control over compilation errors because Word does it for you, badly.

How I felt taking my notes in LaTeX (yes I am a perfectionist math nerd)

Wow, this is really neat!! I tried getting into vim some years ago but never managed to get it working smoothly with latex like this. But this looks really great!

Oh god vim that brings me back.

I built my resume in latex 10 years ago. It was phenomenally beautiful. Haven't touched it since.

Same. Unfortunately I might need to update it soon and I don't think I've kept the files

Other way round for me.

The markup was neat and logical
