+ 5 Reasons for LaTeX
+
+- Besides Word, LaTeX is one of the two dominant typesetting systems in the academic world.
+- Mathematical formulas feel most at home in LaTeX. This is why the LaTeX formula notation has been integrated into numerous other tools (e. g. OneNote, Word, Wikipedia, …).
+- There are countless packages for the most diverse areas of application.
+- LaTeX was developed to produce aesthetically pleasing typesetting — and you can see that in the texts it produces.
+- Complex documents typeset in LaTeX facilitate collaboration enormously (e. g. through versioning, proper document structuring, templates, reliable undo, …).

-- independence of proprietary software
-- source code readable in the long term
-- easy cooperation with other software
