@adrienne @rysiek @nombreapellido @inkscape @krita @GIMP I get the frustration, but claiming that FLOSS people don't understand typesetting when there's entire professional communities typesetting their publications in LaTeX all by themselves as a matter of course, it will earn you a lot of headshaking and not much more.

@sqrt2 @rysiek @nombreapellido @inkscape @Krita @GIMP LaTeX (which i also use sometimes!) does some typesetting tasks really well, and others really badly. And it certainly isn't a poster child for "good UX"!

@adrienne @rysiek @nombreapellido @inkscape @krita @GIMP I claim that it has better UX for typesetting mathematics than literally everything else out there. That may mainly say something about everything else out there, but such is the world.

@sqrt2 @rysiek @nombreapellido @inkscape @Krita @GIMP If we are restricting the domain to "typesetting mathematics", yes, I will happily agree with you. Unfortunately, 99.9% of what needs to be typeset in the world is "not mathematics".
