On Building Git for Lawyers

Stuff like this really make me wish people knew about computers. They could see endless gains from switching to something like LaTeX with Git version control. Sure, it would take a bit of time to train people on, but the productivity gains would be massive. The strangest thing is that everyone used to use computers that way. It seems that the creation of GUIs and WYSIWYG has greatly worsened the experience a lot of people have with a computer. I think the issue is that people select their tools based off what is easiest to learn, so there is a kind of local minima reached where most software today is very easy to operate but hugely inefficient for anyone who has to use it frequently.

More "endless pains" then "endless gains" in all honesty. The point of software is to abstract complexity, not present it to users (or worse, create it).

LaTex is just ugly and surprising. People want to write and see what they've written, not type and then render. It's a backwards development workflow from the instant feedback of wysiwyg (which is why wysiwyg was so revolutionary, and became the de facto standard for the task).
