Users who are familiar with WSIWYG document preparation systems often end up fighting with the basic classes (article, book, or report) to mimic a particular style because they don't realize that the publisher provides a LaTeX class that uses widely available fonts to authors while internally they may use a different version of the class or translate LaTeX to some proprietary formatting engine.

this is very used in the mathematic community, where LaTeX is used
(and mandatory, actually).

One of the pro for LaTeX is the possibility to write something else
than just  text, like music scores (MusiXTeX) or chemical formula
