I do not consider them that nice.  What  have annoyed me not once is the
presence of page numbers at the left- or right-hand  sides of headers.  One
situation when this have been annoying was when I wanted to have headers without
any page numbers at all, the other one was when I wanted to have headers
like "page <current> of <total>".  Or can I do this with Leslies's \markright
and \markleft macros?  BTW these macros replace original TeX headers, the
latter can be very complex eg. multiline, the former can not.  Why TeX
headers are not available in LaTeX?
