Type faces (“fonts”) and typesetting. I personally like a face with a large x-height, double story open loop g, and a full range of f-ligatures. The art of lead typesetting has disappeared in favour of software solutions; TeX does a beautiful job, particularly when using Knuth’s faces. (Adobe’s InDesign also deserves an honourable mention, but it’s unfortunately proprietary and closed-source). And when using standard TrueType or OpenType faces, the difference between a page generated by either of them, and one output by Microsoft Word, for example, is noticeably staggering.

One of my favorite parts of being a math teacher is getting to write in latex all the time.
It’s such a bummer collaborating on a document because they all use Word.
I used latex once for a technical documentation.
It certainly makes handling large documents way easier than all the convoluted features word has
Yes. Using sub-files and related features makes a 100+ page document with figures and links much easier to work with.
