I watched a humourous video a while ago about Emacs. The Emacs expert being interviewed explains that he used to spend hours with #LaTeX, trying to get figures where wanted them; now he uses #OrgMode. "So figures go where you want now?" "No, I've accepted that it's impossible."
I've spent the last hour and a half using LaTeX to produce a business card sized document to carry in my wallet. Spacing between paragraphs! Spacing between list items! Bilingual! Footer with the date!
