I mostly export beamer slides like [0] or more casual ones like [1].
Non-beamer stuff usually mean tutorials for me, but I tend to export
them to markdown/html and use LaTeX/pdf only for handouts. I have to
confess that I use LaTeX without Org for most of my other output.

I started to test lualatex earlier this year, mainly because of its font
capabilities. But I'm not sure yet if it is worth the additional work.

In theory that's enough for me. I rarely use several languages in one
paper. But I have some trouble with that: for instance, inheriting the
language property to all LaTeX code blocks in an Org file. As a result
the AUTO tag doesn't get replaced and the code block doesn't compile.

I usually add LaTeX code. Some of it could be replaced with Org, maybe,
but I haven't figured it out yet. Some other code is to make the result
look like I want it to look. I have the gut feeling that everybody does
this and it would be hard to generalise that and provide Org
functionality.
Thank you for your work!
