I used to keep my CV in LaTeX as well using some ready-made cls but I wanted to better control the typesetting and I switched to troff instead.



What kinds of things are you doing with the typesetting in troff that you didn't do in LaTeX?


An one-page, two-column document, where every vertical and horizontal spacing is manually adjusted at a low level. The placement of the photograph, the introduction, a slightly altered font for highlighting technical terms, need only be made one time so that it is simpler than using someone else's class and trying to bend it.
