Many academic publishers, esp. those specializing in computer science,
math, do accept LaTeX manuscripts.

Postscript has been the industry standard for decades, and more and
more electronic submissions accept also PDF files. Both of these can
be easiliy generated from LaTeX.

I've published a few journal articles and conference papers. I only
use LaTeX.
Nowadays, I use Emacs with AUCTeX and preview-latex. Also 'pclcvs' so
that I can use CVS to keep track of the revisions and branches.
