Still freaking out. personally, the ability of mathjax to render expressions which are neither recognizable as linearly structured text nor in any way anticipated by things like the ms equation editor is not an abstract thing but an essential component of communication with others in my subfield and dozens of neighboring ones, primarily in the form of what are called “commutative diagrams”. For us, mathjax is already a significant downgrade over full latex in this regard but we’ve been able to get by. This was also mentioned by denis nardin in the comments to E.P.’s answer above.
