Depends on who you ask... LaTeX is a typesetting system that uses plain text commands to format and structure documents. Has a bit of a learning curve. It also (usually) does exactly what you ask it for.

So, maybe not worth teaching the in laws, but could be adapted for personal use with some practice?

It's a go to solution for scientific papers.

Depends on what you wanna do. Also it's a matter of preferences. For anything more complex than a simple letter or a table I'm using Latex. But although I love Latex, I must acknowledge that for some it's not the right tool.

It has advantages and disadvantages as everything in life ;) Ask your favorite search engine or LLM what those are, I don't feel qualified to elaborate on that.
