Sorry if this is nerdy but, I love LaTeX...
Professional quality beautiful typesetting. You can create attractive documents with just an installation of tex-live and a text editor.
You also need to install the tex-live extra's
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
There is a learning curve. But after a few days of printing and reading the online LaTeX resources. I have managed to create a PDF Version of My Resume from the LaTeX Source of my Resume
The Ubuntu version of moderncv is so old that the LaTeX template_en.tex doesn't work with it, so you have to download the moderncv* files from CTAN and (to make it easy) plonk them in the same directory as your template_en.tex file.
Another cool feature I discovered perusing the moderncv Tex Code is the marvosym package. With this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage[a6paper]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\normalsize tiny \tiny\Mundus
\normalsize small \small\Mundus
\normalsize normalsize \normalsize\Mundus
\normalsize Large \Large\Mundus
\normalsize LARGE \LARGE\Mundus
\normalsize huge \huge\Mundus
\normalsize Huge \Huge\Mundus
\end{document}
You get this:
And the World Globe Icon \mundus in PDF format
There are many different icons for mobile and fixed phone and letters etc in the marvosym package... Cool huh!
