I have way too much muscle memory and vim macros for working with LaTeX to feel the urge to learn something else. I don't have much friction these days with LaTeX. I have pointed a couple friends at Typst, and they have seemed to like that. That said, I'm not sure that I would suggest it to a friend's parents, unless they were already in tech fields or general nerds. Also, I'm not sure I want to talk about output quality when you have "þe" and "worþ" in your response. Kidding. Mostly. Kind of.
I wouldn't recommend Typst, eiþer, but I really wouldn't recommend LaTeX.
