If I may put in my two cents worth. I too finally had to give
up LaTeX because of things I was trying to modify. I also
tried Lout, but couldn't find cross-references, TOC, etc.

Now I've gone back to TeX (plain, plus eplain) and I finally
have control of my environment when I need that level of
control. If I don't need that level of control, I have found 
the new (to me) LaTeX2e has much better ways to control document 
setup than the orginal LaTeX that I used for my thesis 
(which was AGONY).

P.S. I shall always be grateful to Professor Knuth and Leslie
Lamport for their wonderful contributions to the segment of
society that needs typesetting capability.
