LaTeX
Error: Too many unprocessed floats.
ugh, no way. It might do a fine job with typesetting, but the user experience is utterly awful and that's very unlikely to change because of design choices over 40+ years. If you don't think so, give typst a real try.
Semantic round brackets make typst impossible to use for me. If it had curlies instead it would be great.
Not sure about LaTeX, but TeX is widely considered to be almost "perfect" code.
TeX will be perfect after Knuth dies and the version number is incremented to π.
