Learning curve is a thing: I've never touched LaTeX, and I don't anticipate using it in the future. If I wanted to automate a thing as a learning project, I probably would rule out LaTeX unless I had a reason to want to learn it.

You don't really need to know LaTeX to do a resume in LaTeX, you just need to get a template and add your data to it

source: my resume is the only thing in LaTeX I've touched in over a decade
