Hi, I tend to use LaTeX as well. I'm obtaining a Computer Science Degree, of which UML (Unified Modeling Language) plays a massive role throughout all six semesters. Also, I was kind of forced into LaTeX, but it's actually really useful when you learn how. It also works for a lot of situations, such as UML since you have plenty of tools which plug into applications such as TeXShop, the LaTeX distribution for OS X.
I haven't yet managed to use the edition, and wonder how useful it is going to be during teamwork, though I suspect it won't be as useful as it seems right now. I have a lot of doubts as to the style of the plugin. LaTeX is incredibly powerful, though, plugins aside. Even with the UML plugin, you can still draw diagrams. You just can't view those made by others, which is practically essential.
