Woah. LaTeX.

Next you'll tell me you are pulling out the O'Reilly book on PERL, and brushing up on your scripting... shudder

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.
