I've been a fan of LaTeX for some time, but I've mainly switched to using Chromium instead.

Yes, it seems a bit strange, but browser engines have become mature enough to replace most of what LaTeX can do, and there are even work-arounds for things the browsers can't do natively. For example "Paged.js" is a polyfill for implementing CSS paged media extensions.

Using various Javascript (or webassembly now) libraries, I can directly render Math, SVG, musical charts, all sorts of quirky text directions etc.

There are even knuth-plass implementations in Javascript. I hope that someone smarter than me figures out how to marry that algorithm to the new CSS Houdini API!
