      I’d say anyone who has ever tried to use it hates it a little, even if they also love it

      It has a learning curve and it is better suited for technical work IMO. I wouldn’t tell a grandparent to write a letter using LaTeX for example.

      I WOULD trust a grandparent to be able to download Mastodon and make an account, but still I think the analogy works nicely lol

      I wouldn’t say hater, more like “each tool for its job”

      LaTeX can be quite cumbersome for certain tasks, same as Word is cumbersome for other tasks. It all depends what the tool is made for, and what you try to use it for.
