Many of my teachers <cough/> use Word documents and Powerpoint slides exclusively. I
can't really complain - I'm just a single student, hardly enough to convince them to
use PDFs instead - but it does make life a little bit hard.
I use LaTeX for my lab reports, gnuplot for my graphs, and mgp for my presentations
(sometimes LaTeX or HTML, too). I try to be as cross-platform as possible, but living
in a Windows world can be difficult if other people don't even consider other
platforms. ;)
Still waiting for a small, command-line tool that can convert PPTs to a series of PNGs
or HTMLs...
