This guys reply to me was literally "git isn't too technical, mathematicians use this extremely complicated program for generating highly technical documents all the time so obviously grandma could too!"

I agree 100% with you, I tried to use LaTeX ONE time in college and nearly chucked my computer out the window, and I'm a software developer. I was using it for a math class and couldn't get my head around any of it.

It certainly isn't a good replacement for MSWord or PowerPoint for the VAST majority of people who don't need to put mathematical notation into their presentations and just need words on a screen
