Simple reason - I use LaTeX virtually every day. I hardly ever use plain TeX.

So I know how to do things using LaTeX, but would have to spend ages going
through the docs tyo work out how to do them in TeX.


It might have been more elegant in TeX, but it would have taken me a hell of a
lot longer to write it....
