Such as? Word hits the sweet spot of having support for all the complexity the average person may encounter/want to create.
Libre, Apple Pages, and Google Docs all seem like clearly worse tools in most aspects in my experience.
LaTeX is extremely powerful, but also way too complicated for the average non-HN person/person who doesn't live in complicated documents.
- gus_massa 2mo agoI almost agree. Have you tried to add an image in LaTeX that does not wander to a random page? \begin{figure}[HERE!!!!!!] or something like that. And in the old compiler, I remember a problem with bounding boxes, and keeping a eps and pdf version of each image to get a correct dvi and pdf. I think this part is fixed now.
