I'm still on pdflatex, too. I wonder whether publishers know how to deal with lualatex, etc? One of the main journals in my field still requires figures in postscript format, so even pdflatex is too modern.

Ah, don't get me started on the publishers. Using their style files is an exercise in masochism. Many (I'm thinking of certain OUP journals for example) developed their style files on particular Windows-specific proprietary releases of TeX, and never bothered to test on any other system. Using their styles/templates is such a nightmare.
