Like what?

I enjoy buying good software, because it is good software that extends the
capabilities of the generic hardware of an average computer. However, how
good it the type-setting software you have in mind, and at which cost does
it come?

After all, tex is quite good, a bit awkward until you get the hangs of it,
and so cheap that it's free ;)
