I've used the equation handler on a limited basis; I've not used LaTeX.  
I think the Ventura PE equation handler is very easy to use.  It's all
WYSIWYG; you specify an insert point in text and ask for an equation. 
You're then taken into a sort of "equation editing tablet" where you 
type in requests for specific symbols or constructs, and they are 
assembled on the screen.

One caveat:
I'd recommend using a PostScript printer.  The reason: PE will try to 
size things like root symbols, etc to fit normal expectations of what the
equation should look like (so far so good).  However: your printer may not
have a matching font in the correct size -- so substitution (with awful
results) will occur (on the HP LaserJet, and on Interpress printers if IPFNTS.JSL
is set up correctly).  The PostScript printer will, however, be asked for
a specific point size and will size and fill symbols as necessary to match.
(Please, Xerox, give us Interpress Professional Graphics Set printers ...)
