Now I am afraid to open Microsoft Word, because there is always someone asking me "Why not use LaTeX?".

    For what? I worked somewhere where a junior decided we should have done in LaTeX. It was horrible, and I love LaTeX. Doc is also bad. Markdown?

    The latest Word is amazing for the purpose it was made for. But come on, code in something that was made for coding.

    @Charmgoggles how? My current setup is with jekyll and mathjax, but it's really noth the best. However, I couldn't really find any nice method to write latex with markdown.

    Lately I've been writing my school papers with Markdown, then export it to docx with Pandoc and it's ready!

    I write faster that way than dealing with damn Word UI and other stuff

    @Artemix @apex Do you know about org mode? It's an emacs mode so if you don't use emacs it's probably not a good idea, but if you do...

    @Artemix it's mainly about making lists, sublists, but does a lot more. Make todolists, add deadlines, collapsing sections... And since it's text based it's diffable.

    @Artemix since it's text based, any text editor would do, I guess it's all in the shortcuts that make it fast. I don't use it much, but people who do it enough seem to love it.

    @Artemix I also export it to PDF, but mainly docx because some of my teachers just don't want PDF, I don't know why...

    Because if you use LaTeX the sensation isn't as good...
