>LaTeX syntax
>LaTeX in general

>using latex is fucking horrible
I love latex and I don't to use it because I'm a fucking music student.
Just makes my life easier.
Seriously, if you find Latex to be a pain in ass, perhaps you should drop your CS studies.
How is Latex any more difficult to use than HTML?

>I don't need or forced to use it
My fucking fault.

Well don't use it for everything. I use plain .txt for most of my documents because of the absurd file sizes of other formats. If I want to do something fancy though, I switch over to Latex.

things nicer and easier and easier to use than latex:
html
php
lisp/elisp
erlang
haskell
APL
