Love LaTeX but it gets harder to justify because of the faff in processing the files across multiple systems. Pdftex, xetex, xelatex, blah blah blah, adding fonts, packages galore...

Recently:

I've managed to "stablize" a Maven-based latex build by throwing it away and just using Github actions to generate the PDF. Hallelujah, it worked!

I've had to compile my CV on multiple machines for various reasons of expediency, and I've tried to use VSCode, but it takes an age to setup and I can't figure it out, so back to TexPad (now -> Texifier) I go, and fiddle with the settings until it compiles.

Somebody point me to a system that works across Macs and non-Macs please.

If Typst can somehow build that ecosystem of packages (personally, I use it for letters, reports, my CV, and a songbook for the ukulele with tab diagrams) then it'll truly be a killer.
