Is LaTeX mode a programming one? ;-)

I totally agree - especially with LaTeX, which I know very well. I
tried to write a scientific article in Org-mode, got immediately
frustrated (not Org's fault - the reason was that it was not LaTeX;))
and switched back to LaTeX.
However, if I'm doing a document which contains TODO items, deadlines
etc., then the ability to export it to html (so I can send it to a
non-Emacs-savvy friend, for instance) is a big win.
And Org's tables - exportable to LaTeX & HTML - are really, really
great. One time I had a table in LaTeX - two rows and lots of columns
- and needed to transpose it. Good luck, unless you convert it to
Org-mode (manually, but fast due to string replacing), then transpose
it in Org (one command) and export back to LaTeX's tabular.
Best,
