I read about typst a few weeks ago. I no longer make math- or formatting-heavy documents anymore, but if I had had this while I was in university, I would’ve loved to use it.
LaTeX is nice, but there’s some things that are an absolute pain to get right or make them look like you want to.
I’m sorry but you can totally control the margin size in LaTeX if you learn the right incantation

then you spread the entrails slightly and stab towards the sky. Really don’t see what the big fuss is all about.
My former colleague and I both decided on the same template for our dissertation, but hers looked wonky with the default margins. Sacrificing that lamb to have slightly tighter margins was worth it, even if the eldritch ramblings keep me awake at night.
A long while ago, I used to use kdissert (now semantik) to make all my white papers, from mind map to document, generating latex out, fine tune, and just gorgeous.
Then I was forced to put them in word and hand it off to our graphics design people to put it into InDesign.
I think I’m going to try semantik for more than mind maps again.
