I think writing text and equations in LaTex is very simple. It's not WYSIWYG, but fairly straighforward. Even complex equations are fairly easy to formulate and look great. However as soon as you want to change how something is presented you might be in for a world of pain.

So yeah, don't use LaTeX then use TeX, where you can change things easily because it's not as complicated.
