who the fuck uses a word processor are you still in school or something

Why the fuck would I even need to use half of those LaTeX "benefits"

1st document in Word: 100% hard 2nd document in word: 100% hard 3rd document in word: 100% hard
1st document in Latex: 500% hard 2nd document in latex: 50% hard 3rd document in latex: 5% hard

>1st document in Word: 100% hard >2nd document in word: 100% hard >3rd document in word: 100% hard so you don't learn anything every time you make a document in word? are you autistic or do you have a severe issue with short term memory?
Adrian Phillips
we need a quickstart user. the most common features are letter size, centered text, justified text, bold, and paragraph is optional for now.

Also, for some reason, when I went from Word 2013 to 2016, it locks up sometimes when I'm saving a document. I feel like Word 2003 is more stable than this shit.
Samuel Adams
Possibly because of all the ridiculous cloud integration in word 2016, when I save a document in anything office 2016 it saves it to my OneDrive or skydrive or whatever it's called
James Diaz
Handlebars + Phantomjs > LaTeX
Oliver Sullivan
why not libreoffice
Jaxon Wright
It has exactly the same issues as word and every other WYSIWYG document processor

I don't get it, it's a word processor. All you need is being able to type words and format text, even nano can do that.
Blake Thomas
And there's nothing inherently wrong with that, where latex excels is in making nice looking readable documents with no effort spent on formatting, also stuff like bibliographies

THROW AWAY THE KEY
seriously there's not much difference once you use the "latex" font in word
Mason Reed
I really like latex, but the default format is only good for reports. Where to I find other formats?
Justin Gomez
You can literally just nick other people's templates and add your own text from a quick googling
John Foster
I need it for work since I'm not a homeless NEET.
Joshua Hill
yes but many seconds to get to that point
Ryder Edwards
emacs orgmode + latex export

You're dead right, you have to type your document first

No.

What I get looks like pic related. I don't give a shit of what you use, but I wish I can make people use quality software.
Ethan Edwards
Does it mean you're neither doing research nor code management? What are you doing here then?
Ryan Rodriguez
I can sit and use Libreoffice or MS Word without any training, as everything is intuitive, easy to use and doesnt require any knowledge.
At the same time, I would need to sit and learn LaTeX for quite some time to basically "program" all my texts.
I thinkt thats enough reason to not bother with LaTeX and such. Like with all those fancy techinques with programming, if you dont know those already, chances are that you dont need them at all. Im not trying to make some kind of artwork here, Im about to do WORK and it supposed to, well, "just werks".
Maybe some "experts" would feel better for doing simple texts like that, but I dont need to enlarge my e-penis to feel good.
Matthew Gutierrez
My professor gave me extra credit for using LaTeX. He refused to accept word documents. Only PDF.
Kayden Miller
I will never not love these memes
Brody Powell
when? the day that shit is not the industry standard and a requirement for companies you autist
Joseph Collins
Yeah, this sounds great and all. I might even allot some of my time to learn this. The problem is what if you're working with somebody that doesn't know how to use LaTeX? Would that someone also take the time to learn it? What about group papers, theses, lab reports? Ever think of that, huh?

Carter Carter
I'm a student. Office is fantastic for school. I tried LibreOffice and it's pure shit, even the interface is broken on Linux with Arc theme and there's no reason to use it on Windows, even Google Docs is much better. Latex is something I never used but it's good if you job requires it.

I have nothing wrong with you for using Word, but you should try LaTeX before coming and saying "some people have a life", shouldn't you? :)
