With TeX, *you* make the decision as to the position of every drop of ink. Plain TeX takes some of the grunt work off your hands, but leaves you with most of it. LaTeX is the one that tries to do everything for you.

But regardless, I'll agree; TeX is not a DTP application. It's a reasonably good *backend* to DTP applications, though.
