With the exception of those journals and texts that were typeset with
a full array of symbols, the use of TeX has vastly improved the
appearance of papers (if not the content). The AMS journals from the
1970s and before were works of art, but even most Springer-Verlag
monographs were truly ugly.
What always amuses me is that there seem to be several journals that
won't accept LaTeX but then when you get the proofs, it's obvious it's
LaTeX. You see the filename at the top of the page. Fortunately, there
seems to be a bit of a trend here, and people will get it figured out.
