I've been writing and publishing on and off since the '70s and both in the US and in Germany and have *never* encountered an editor who requested I submit my work in latex. It would be a disservice to the questioner to recommend he learn and use latex unless the editor to whom he is submitting his work will accept submissions in latex. Would you agree that it's best to submit in a form which the editor or agent wants? Or should you simply always submit all work in latex regardless of what the editor or agent wants?
