LLMs are tearing down LaTeX's old walls. Syntax hell, cryptic errors, clunky formatting - easier now. Whether baked into editors or running solo, these models smooth the pain.
Why does it work so well? LaTeX has history. Mountains of examples. It's the perfect training set. That puts newer contenders like Typst in a tough spot - less data, less help.
The twist: LLMs are quietly reviving legacy tools. When AI makes "boring tech" fast and useful, the shiny new stuff has to work a lot harder to matter.
