Exactly. As I said in my last message, I feed plain text into a LaTeX compiler. I want to edit LaTeX files in an environment with both (i) double-spaced lines, and (ii) serif fonts. No text editor I'm aware of can do both. LibreOffice Writer can. It's just awful to write prose in single-spaced lines and monospaced fonts. Writer is way more readable.
