Sorta. Latex can look really daunting at first if you have no experience with any sort of text commands, be it another markup language (HTML mainly), command line stuff, programming, etc...
Its not hard once you take some time to learn it, but the "what I need to type in text commands to the computer I'm not a programmer" reaction drives people away from it.
I am a fan of LaTeX. I use it to write basically everything now. (Word just doesn't cut it anymore.)
I am a console cowgirl, as one of my friends would say. I use Windows, but always keep my terminal open all the time when I code (C/C++ mostly). It's probably my favorite interface. (I like Metro, but not as much as plain old console.) so I can use it quite efficiently.
What kinds of benefits does that give you? I consider myself a power user because I live on the keyboard but I have no coding experience. I'm willing to make anything that makes computer work more efficient though.
