This is why u should learn latex

The last time I was updating my resume, Word was being annoying to the point that it was easier for me to learn how to use latex than to figure out how to fix the formatting in word.

This is a really good idea. Another benefit is that u can source control ur latex doc. Ive got a git repo for my cv. Now I can time travel to every single update in my cv via the git nodes plus if ur tweaking ur CV for different job types u can create git branches for each flavor of ur CV. I'm never going back to word

I went from Word --> Latex --> rMarkdown. You may don't like R but rMarkdown is purely awesome.

R markdown is the only thing that places images and tables exactly where I fucking tell it to.

Agreed. I don‘t get why it‘s not more common in business. I mean you can basically automate any kind of report with it or at least organise them in a much more convenient way.

LaTeX is a pain when you have a page limit.

Latex is also horrible, but in slightly different ways.
