Having discovered the TeX processing system for my research in
mathematics, I end up appreciating one feature of TeX over all
others: source code is ASCII 7 bits.
If you know of a text editor with such advanced feature for scientific
notation and such a permanent propriatary format, I would be happy
to learn about it.
However, I would always recommend someone to use the processing
system adopted by one's coworkers and people one's has to interact
with. Data conversion is never easy or completely faithful. And
there is always a situation in which the local expert helps you
to realize what you want.
