That might work for some projects, but generally speaking people using TeX/LaTeX are concerned about finer control of typesetting, especially when it comes to mathematical material. TeX/LaTeX is the gold standard for this. To paraphrase Brian Kernighan, the trouble with WYSIWYG is that it usually means What You See Is*All* You Get.
You may find this interesting, then. PDF files created by Scribus are considerably larger than those created by Adobe. This is because Adobe sets the position for a line, then inserts a string of characters for that line. Scribus sets the position for each character as it goes. That makes very precise positioning of specific elements possible, far more than in Adobe. Of course, it takes work to learn how to do this (I haven't, as I don't need it.) and to get it right. However, if you're happy using TeX, and it does what you want the way you want, that's all that's important, isn't it?
