Re: LaTeX Templates
#3love the site and 'What is LaTeX' and 'Why' are really informative for a beginner like myself

Just increased the VPS RAM to 1.2Gb, up again now ;) Not used to this kind of traffic...

#5I use LaTex for a lot of my note taking (for typesetting all equations certainly). When I first started using it, I remember the absolute horror of trying to get it to work with BibTex. The learning curve is relatively steep for non-programmers (I learnt it basically in parallel with learning to code) but it's certainly one of the most valuable tools I've learned and one I continually come back to for a huge range of projects. Certainly in an academic environment it continues to surprise me that everyone isn't taught LaTex in their first year of a PhD.

#8One of the occasional arguments we've had in the LedgerSMB community is whether to ditch LaTeX. The arguments in favor have to do with UTF8 support and internationalization, and the fact that 'everybody knows alternatives!'
In the end we've opted to keep it because LaTeX is so good at doing what it does, and because our dependencies can be hacked to use XeTeX (for UTF-8 input) and so we are working to ensure that XeTeX support gets back upstream instead. Additionally for documentation LaTeX source is quite easy to read compared to the alternatives like DocBook, and LaTeX is also much more expressive.
Sooner or later I expect we will factor out our invoice logic into document classes and packages and try to get that on CTAN. Maybe then it will be worth putting many of our templates on a site like this one (this site even)

#9I found LaTeXTemplates just a little over a year ago when I was looking for (shockingly) LaTeX templates, and it was /the only/ resource with decent usable templates (in terms of source readability and having actually-pretty templates). I'm the CTO of SpanDeX.io and we jumped on site integration shortly after we launched, because LaTeXTemplates is badass. I see many of you have hit our site after checking out LaTeXTemplates, so I'm glad some of you find the gallery & the integrations useful! Cheers.

I work in a academic environment as well, and I give it another 10-20 years until it will be widespread for everything - currently my supervisors want me to write everything in .doc as they don't know LaTeX and don't want to learn (no time, which I can understand).
It's not very widespread in the life sciences, I'm afraid.
