I respect Latex users, but I believe it should die. However I see no actual replacement now or in near future :/ I wish one of the big guys eliminate it once and for all. But there is little value in developing a replacement for academic paper publishing.

Amusingly, I feel the same for html. :) I would much rather write something using LaTeX than I would any of the xml based document systems.

What, for the curious, is the reason you wish it would die?

The value of (La)Tex has very little to do with academia. There is no other (end-user) accessible system that produces typesetting anywhere CLOSE to quality of TeX.
