Other way round for me.

The markup was neat and logical

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

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

For anyone who wants to do this

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!

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

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.
