Actually, TeX and LaTeX are not stagnant; Don Knuth announced at the TUG
meeting that he would be making some rather dramatic changes to TeX (TeX 3.0
is currently in alpha test, and the 17th printing of the TeXbook will 
reflect the changes), and Leslie Lamport has made a similar announcement 
about LaTeX (in fact, the plan is now to permit LaTeX to evolve to meet the
needs of its growing user base).
