It was terrific. While my wife was in college and grad school getting her BSW and MSW, I typed all her papers including her theses on it using emacs and LaTeX (with BibTeX for the references and footnotes) and printed them on our 24-pin Epson dot-matrix printer which could do graphics and fonts at 180DPI. Her professors were really impressed at how lovely the Computer Modern fonts looked and the overall appearance vs the typewriter appearance form the other students.

My daughters also used that combination for their high school papers. When the older one went to college, she was forced to take a class in using computers in which they taught Word and Excel. She caused a bit of a stir when she demanded to know where Emacs and LaTeX were instead of that "garbage" Word.
