My five cents.
Pretty long ago I started writing my thesis as a single LaTeX file so I
see no reason to redo it in Org format. Nevertheless I began use Org
mode almost exlusively for writing articles. Thanks to Org I can keep
all information needed for article in one file. I find helpful using

On the contrary: Org-mode (however I like it) does not have the
functions and keybindings that make writing LaTeX in AUCTeX so
pleasant. C-c C-e can be simulated by speed keys to enter special

Hi Marcin,
You're right, mostly. My point was that with displayed equations (in
amsmath, since core LaTeX lacks a lot in this department), AUCTeX has at

Wow, I expected a little help, but never to spark such a conversation.
Thanks to all for the comments.
Thanks to all who suggested sticking with one file. That was the main
issue I needed to sort out, and I'm glad I have a way foward

Aloha Jake,
In my experience, the one file approach is easiest with Org mode. I've
written a book in Org mode using this approach and found it to be quite
comfortable. Compilation time wasn't ever a big deal for me, but this
will depend on your patience obviously.
I don't think there are any
