It's also a lot easier to get started with LaTeX than it used to be -- e.g. with cloud-based compilers such as Overleaf (https://www.overleaf.com) which remove the need to get everything installed and working locally before you can try it out.

(Note: I'm one of the co-founders of Overleaf, so any feedback is appreciated, thanks. My co-founder has also put together this free introductory course for anyone that's looking to give LaTeX a try: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/learn/free-online-introductio...)
