Have you tried debugging LateX? Miss a comma somewhere or screw up a package's options, and you'll be left wondering why your paper is broken, and then you're at the mercy of Google to help you find another person with the same issue.

LaTeX produces beautiful papers, but it's old and showing signs of its age.

Is it that bad? Have you tried to debug Markdown + LaTeX MathJax? Is it the same of differs? As for me it seems enough easy to debug each single math object. But I only used Markdown + LaTeX insertions so I cannot compare.
I've written papers with some complex tables, probably over 150 pages worth of dense latex, and I still have trouble debugging :/
