> Times have changed ... I wrote my PhD in TeX. Not LaTeX ... that hadn't been invented.

Brings to mind when I first learned TOPS-20 Emacs in law school (long story), circa 1980-81: A few of the CS grad students tolerantly looked down on Emacs as a crutch for newbies, because any real programmer would use TECO instead ....

(IIRC, that version of Emacs was written as a collection of TECO macros.)
