100% completely agreed. It's not the future, it's the past.
Typst feels more like the future: https://typst.app/
The problem is that so many journals require certain LaTeX templates so Typst often isn't an option at all. It's about network effects, and journals don't want to change their entire toolchain.
I've had some good initial results in going from typst to .tex with Claude (Opus 4.5) for an IEEE journal paper - idiomatic use of templates etc.
