Big disappointment of the moment: learning to understand the logic and the simplicity behind TeX's macros like \hbox, \vbox, \it etc. only to learn later that they are considered obsolete and discouraged in LaTeX.

@Feufochmar I guess they are still valid in TeX, so it seems legit that the TeXbook speaks about them as it does
@otini The obsolescence / discourage use should be part of the documentation for those macros.
