"Learn TeX only if you would like to become a typesetter",
this is a memorable sentence our school project leader answered this question to my colleague years ago... :-)
LaTeX will do the job 99% people need. There is a perfect book about TeX - TexBook naruby, unfortunatelly in Czech only (I doubt it was translated). But just look at it just to get shocked and assure that you really don't want to learn TeX :-)
LaTeX moreover, gives very limited access to the features of the TeX engine. This is just due to the effiency idea of LaTeX. When most urgent things have been done and you can afford spending some time learning about what is behind LaTeX and what TeX really offers.
This may help you in understanding difficulties with LaTeX, why you need some extra packages for certain fine tuning, you may then mix Plain TeX code into your LaTeX code for fine tuning, you can write your own LaTeX packages getting more control of TeX ...

“只有当你想成为一名排字员时才学习 TeX”，
这是一句令人难忘的句子，我们学校的项目负责人多年前向我的同事回答了这个问题......:-)
LaTeX 可以胜任 99 % 人们需要。有一本关于 TeX 的完美书 - TexBook naruby，不幸的是只有捷克语版本（我怀疑它是翻译的）。但只要看看它就会感到震惊并确保您真的不想学习 TeX :-)

纯文本相对于乳胶的优点

此外，LaTeX 对 TeX 功能的访问非常有限
引擎。这正是得益于 LaTeX 的效率理念。最紧急的时候
事情已经完成，你可以花一些时间学习
LaTeX 背后的内容以及 TeX 真正提供的功能。
这可能会帮助你理解 LaTeX 的困难，
为什么你需要一些额外的包来进行某些微调，然后你可以混合
将纯 TeX 代码放入您的 LaTeX 代码中进行微调，您可以编写自己的代码
LaTeX 包获得了对 TeX 的更多控制...
