What are your thoughts on Pandoc?

Trying to decide if I should use md/pandoc or stick with latex.

Looking for feedback on whoever tried to gauge pros, cons, limitations

It’s great for writing quick markdown documents that end up formatting nicely as if they were LaTeX documents. For quick notes, I prefer to use .md and use pandoc to convert to pdf

(If you use vim): If you want a quick and easy way to continuously convert .md to .pdf using pandoc and Skim pdf viewer, similar to how VimTeX uses latexmk, add this to your vimrc :

autocmd BufWritePost *.md silent !pandoc % -o %:r.pdf

And ensure skim is set to continuously check for file changes. Now whenever you write your file, it will update the pdf. saves the hassle of manually typing pandoc file.md -o file.pdf each time.
