[Groff] Typesetting Software

[John¹]

Many years ago, when type used to be set by hand, I was one of those who 
did the typesetting. I am now looking at the methodology of using either 
Groff or LaTex to produce print ready text. Can anyone briefly tell me if 
Groff does the same job as LaTex? 

Obviously there will be a bias in asking this group but does one have an 
advantage over the other?
