I would disagree. I much prefer reading troff output than tex, though that could simply be a factor of the way the default macro packages behave. TeX documents tend to oversized text, inconsistent headers and footers, and while Computer Modern is a pleasant enough typeface it doesn't benefit at all from our 600 dpi laser printers. You can quite likely get better results from TeX if you work at it, but it's much easier to get acceptable output from troff.
