To me this seems a horrible decision at the stage of writing/structuring. I'd rather write in Markdown (this way I could just write, without bothering about typesetting) and only convert to LaTeX for publishing. I'm not proficient in LaTeX though - I once tried to learn it and it felt like learning a language of an insectoid extraterrestrial civilization - completely unintuitive, almost impossible to do anything new - what hasn't been already done by someone else enabling you just copy-paste your own text. IIRC it doesn't even have first-class Unicode support.
