Finishing my final year project - a solution for aspect based sentiment analysis for online reviews. Never thought that I could become fluent in LaTeX, and now I am starting to question my whole life and if I should give up Word and other text processors for this...

Interesting. I spent some time exploring LaTeX and it was quite nice. But I quickly forgot everything. These days I rely on Emacs's org-mode and Export via LaTeX option.

LaTeX is such a beast, sometimes I wish I'd continue learning it more and maybe even abandon Word and it's alternatives!

Exactly! At first, it was horrible, adding bunch of tags for inputing a simple image made me wonder "Who thought putting HTML on steroids for writing text?"... But over time, and lots of pages later, I've came to the conclusion that once you've got it going and you have a basic idea of what's going on, you can be more efficient in structuring documents than you could think.

Just keep going and you'll get there! You got it!
