I learned LaTeX just so I could effectively use git in it.

I kinda want to learn LaTeX but I rarely write anything and I hate doing it so won't have much use for it. It's pretty neat though.

I also saw that there was a way to use LaTex to generate PowerPoint which seems extremely useful because PowerPoint is extremely annoying to use.

Yes, I also mde my. Thesis slides in LaTeX which was nice as I coukd reuse the figures.

I mean yes you can use beamer to make slides, but it is a lot less flexible than ppt/LibreOffice Present.
