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.
I think anything involving PDF generation is cursed because PDF is a cursed format. And if I remember correctly, error messages for LaTeX tend to be shitty. But I don’t think anyone can dispute it’s the standard for a reason.
Are there LaTeX haters? Why?
I’d say anyone who has ever tried to use it hates it a little, even if they also love it
I remember having my fair share of grievences when I was learning it lol
Everytime you are forced to actually look at the log and try to understand the error, I hate that. But I love LaTeX still.

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
Markdown is expressive enough with better syntax.
