1987–

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.

1990–2000

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.

1992–1996

LATEX rocks. Doggy book FTW.

eMBee

1992–1999

learned it in university

Thrown away after I escaped from academia.
