Well, not pure Tex, but I've done a lot with Latex. Despite its lack of WYSIWYG editors (there are some, like Lyx, that get close, though), it's probably still the most versatile way of writing mathematical documents. My first book (on theoretical biology) was written entirely in Latex. Even though I've written virtually no real computer code since I quit (more than a year ago now), I still use Latex.

Written numerous scientific papers in Latex.
gnat
1991–1995
I wrote html2latex back in the dark days of the interwebs, because I needed to print web pages for people. My ignorance of good C programming was only matched by my ignorance of good (La)TeX.
edd
1992–1996
LATEX rocks. Doggy book FTW.
eMBee

It's always hard to re-learn TeX after a long time without using it, but damn, does it make my CV look beautiful.
madewulf
2000–2008
I used LaTex in fact. It is the standard for writing research papers.

LaTeX owns all.
soryu2
2003–2004
Wrote my diploma thesis in LaTex and had a job as typesetter for a while.
brutasse

Started using it for writing scientific course summaries, I still use it for (almost) every report I submit.
ghoseb

LaTeX is perfect for creating documents that do what you want.
bkmontgomery

Yep. Writing scientific papers with latex rocks.

Wouldn't write a paper without it.

Learn the syntax in 5 minutes, then just look at the reference? Maybe I'm wrong.

Used it to write my very first (and ultimately awful/short) paper. Once you're used to it, it's kind of nice!
