LaTeX for Humanity Papers

Long have I searched for the perfect document management system. That one jewel that would save me from the tortures of managing notes and thoughts side by side with my writing. A tool that’d let me manage many things and be as simple as a text file.

At long last, have I (re)found such a system. Maybe I didn’t get it the first time, maybe I didn’t know it would be so wonderful, but I have (re)discovered LaTeX and I love it!

Update: I was trying to figure out why it was that I liked LaTeX so much and it hit me that a system like LaTeX deals with text as if it were code. Where as WYSIWYG hide away many of the hard details of what a document looks like, it also adds much complexity. We are given way more information than is needed at any given time. However, I do agree that LaTeX was made to write longer texts.
