That is a bit unfair. TeX/LaTeX is not that straight-forward and has a
rather steep learning curve. (Still wondering how to put "[1]" (without
the quotes) in a plain text TeX file.)
If you need to buy a book, or peruse copious amounts of documentation to
achieve what seems like a simple task, it is not straight-forward.
If I was going to write a book I would use LaTeX though, probably buying
a book (or two) and perusing copious amounts of documentation in the
process.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god
than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other
possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
