Exact. At the last TUG meeting, it has been stated that the proportion of people
using LaTeX
2.09 vs. LaTeX2e was increasing.
And the reason is that the styles of many LaTeX-ing reviews is designed for 2.09. And
those who
are not bound to scientific reviews (therefore to LaTeX 2.09) are submitted an
insistent advice
to LEAVE LaTeX (stated as being obsolete... without demonstration) and to revert
to commercial text editors such as Word or - if Word is proved to be too bad - Quark
Xpress.
In the same way, I'm discouraged to use LaTeX2HTML but to use Front Page (by
Micro$oft) or
something else which would be WYSIWYG... regardless of the fact that you have serious
troubles
to remind what you exactly did when you wand to make something compatible/similar to a
previous
job. That's a pity, but such is life :-(
