I'm three weeks into remaking my share of old 'for internal use' scripts/textbooks in LaTeX, and it's an odd experience living someplace between pain in the arse and Canticle for Leibowitz.

It's pretty standard anywhere in post-grad science, especially in maths and physics. Not ideal, but I'd kill myself if I had to click out those formulas in MS Office and make Feynman diagrams in Photoshop or what have you. EDIT: I don't hate those other programs, but they simply aren't well suited for what I'm doing. Writing a grant proposal or pretty much anything without heaps of math? That's MS Word. Heaps of math? LaTeX.
