Goodbye LaTeX

(0 comments)

So most Linux distributions are moving to texlive for their LaTeX package. Unfortunately, some widely used styles aren't included anymore and replaced by others. For example, the fancyheadings style was replaced by fancyhdr. To whoever is responsible for that:ARE YOU COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND?! I have to adjust some hundred documents now, the new style gives different results and has a non-intuitive, hackish abbreviated name. Worse, nobody will be able to translate old LaTeX sources shortly without a huge amount of work if the macro packages keep on changing. The whole point of TeX and LaTeX was stability, now its going down the drain like all other text formatting, type setting or office document formats. Thank you morons for your continuous work on destroying the literary heritage of the last 50 years.
