As a side note, if you are already in emacs, you could write your articles in org-mode instead of LaTex.

It's gotten to a point where I am starting to see Latex exclusively as a language to compile to, not something you want to write yourself.

If you haven't used a well-configured org-mode, have a look at this demo for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t925KRBbFc. There's nothing out there (open source or proprietary) that comes close for scientific work in my opinion.

I've started writing everything in R Markdown and (very easily) converting to PDF or tex, which is just blissful.

Really impressive demo. Thanks for sharing.
