I'm curious about what "bugs" you've run into, because after several decades of using LaTeX, I've always found what I thought was a "bug" is either (1) I haven't found the package that already does what I want LaTeX to do, or (2) I'm trying to violate good practices of WYSIWYM, tying content too tightly to presentation.

(2) happens sometimes.  LaTeX isn't the right tool for every situation.  When it's not — when presentation is more important than I can do with LaTeX — I've used Scribus.
