LaTeX at its worst

Usually, the latex community tries to explain how wonderful the output of TeX is. The self understanding is, that latex generated academic paper are easier to read because they are formatted with certain accessible rules. The opposite sounds more realistic. LaTeX generated output has a lack of pictures, has no sections, and doesn't provide any helpful bullet points, free spaces or boxes. Instead, latex generated output looks like monoculture. Every word has the same size, every paragraph looks the same and its boring to read the manuscript.
