A tribute to LaTeX
Writing a paper at the moment, an
e-mail was suddenly sent to the
\LaTeX users:
We MUST move your writing to MS Word for all your future
articles.
I won't waffle about the reasons (real or official) (*), but I'm
\textbf{really} unhappy about it \includegraphics{sad.png}. First
on a technical point of view, I'm going to have to care about the
style and so on. Versions won't be compatible on all computers,
EndNote never works, I can't work from home as I don't have MS
Windows, etc ...
Secondly, this seriously hurts my ethics. Lately I've been more and
more reluctant to proprietary software. Should I really compromise
and use this shit ? Is that a lab of computer scientists or of
businessmen ?
\begin{Huge}\textbf{ ARRRGGGGG }\end{Huge}
(*) Actually, I can't resist to give you the first reason I was
told: \textit{
MS Word is more compatible} - troll inside
!
