>>10897857>using latex falls into one of those "i think im special" narcissitic things.I am happy about those that was bragging that they used LaTeX to me in undergrad. Please do not make people begin hiding it by sprouting shit like this. You are the narcissist.
>I have yet to find a reason to use it over the many word processors.Lol. I mean, there's a nontrivial amount of people that know LaTeX often tends to overuse it and stick with it even when there are easier solutions, but all the standard things people say about LaTeX is correct when using LaTeX like it's meant to be used. Try writing your masters in mathematics in word. It's not totally awful, but it's clearly worse.
>The only people who i have ever met who like using latex are lightweight academics who dont really have anything to contribute to the body of research and have no expertise but like to think there all cool because they know an obsolete text editing procedure.But most academics do use it, though. Close to everyone in math and physics. It's not obsolete.
>Honestly, latex is the equivalent of obnoxious low status men using "straight razors" over a safter razor. The saftey razor produces an infinetly closer shave, litterally 10 times faster and almost never get cut but they will protest why the straight razors is the only "real" way to shave.Straight razors are much cheaper and irritates the skin less is used right (some people have thin and sensitive skin). Safety razors are easier and faster to use though.
