I would suggest the mods change the link to the study itself [0], rather than linking to a far-right extremist who is just quoting the study.

“Equation text: LaTeX users made significantly fewer formatting mistakes and wrote more text within 30 minutes compared with Word novices and experts. However, LaTeX users made significantly more orthographic and grammatical errors.”<p>So, LaTeX does better on what it’s primarily actually used for.
What's funny is that the very best note-taking software I've ever used was actually built for the competitive debate community: <a href="https://paperlessdebate.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://paperlessdebate.com/</a><p>I used it all through university and people would get jealous just watching me because of the power it unlocks, yet no one outside of competitive debate even knows of its existence.<p>For this reason, I'm addicted to word and can't switch to LaTeX unless I'm forced to.
The thing about LaTeX for me isn’t ease of use or even power. It’s the separation of content from format and the efficiency over Word over multiple uses. Example: I’ve been keeping my resume in LaTeX for years and as I’m happy with my custom template, never edit it only my job text. When I’ve used Word for this same task, I’ve had to spend a lot more time and effort for each change modifying format and content together.

Different disciplines would consider a value of "several" reasonable that's different by orders of magnitude.
<i>LaTeX users, however, more often report enjoying using their respective software.</i><p>That's tooling cults for you. I'm utterly unsurprised by this result, only masochists like TeX.
This is probably a tooling issue more than anything, right? Like if I use an editor that handles LaTeX well (such as by automatically rendering a preview as I edit, provides shortcuts to handle inserting LaTeX structures), it wouldn't be much different than Word. I think the average probably brought down by people who write LaTeX in a baisc plain text editor without any extra tooling to help them.
