People familliar with LaTeX will use it in places where it is definitely not required and sometimes even where it’s arguably not a very good fit, such as for presentation slides, illustrated posters laid out in complicated ways, or in one notable case a diagramming package with automatic graph layout, plotting, symbols for circuits, and a boatloat of other things (TikZ).

It might be difficult to believe given the unfriendly failure modes characteristic of a macroexpander and an abundance of dusty corners, but LaTeX really is very convenient for a proficient user when the problem fits (e.g. not a magazine).

I have to disagree to "arguably not a very good fit, such as for presentation slides." I have to make regular work presentations with a lot of math. There are two choices: Powerpoint and Latex/beamer. While the latter is far from painless, powerpoint takes much more time and is much worse to revise.

Etching slides into clay tablets with your hands tied behind your back is less painful than PowerPoint. Beating that isn't much of a flex.
