In my experience, text-expansion (and token/macro-expansion) languages fall into two camps:
* Lisp (and Lisp-likes): I have no experience with it, so I won't state an opinion.
* Not-Lisp: Ranges from bad (e.g. the C preprocessor, bash string expansion) to godawful (e.g. C++ template metaprogramming). LaTeX is somewhere between those two extremes.
I have never met a (not-Lisp) expansion language that I actually liked. I'm not sure why programmers keep trying to build them.
