I've become a big fan of Latex after learning it this past summer.  I
produce documents at work faster than using Word or Writer and of better
quality.  I was reviewing a printout of a rough draft I had written.  I
began discussing it with a coworker.  After a moment he realized that I
had written it.  He said that the type setting was so good that he
assumed it was a white paper I had downloaded.  I'll go back to Word or
Writer when you pry my copy of 'The Latex Companion' out of my cold dead
hands.
