kaobook VS LaTeX-KOMA-template

I would say that it is very close to the kaobook class. Here is the repo. There are docs in the repo, that are written in the kaobook class so take a look and make your own opinion.

I can highly recommend kaobook: https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook. Currently writing my Master thesis with that.

I really like the kaobook template https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook

- I find the kaobook class very nice and complete, and the layout seems to open up a lot of options for integrating a lot of visual information, supplementary texts, etc. Has anyone used it, liked it, any other comments or alternatives?

I downloaded kaobook template from https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook, it used to compile properly with Texlive 2019 and 2020. However when I try to compile using TexLive 2021, sidenote, marginfigure and marginnote insert the text "pt0pt"

As far as I see on my LaTeX template of https://github.com/novoid/LaTeX-KOMA-template (which uses the KOMA package that provides better typography in any case), the horizontal space is not wider after dots.

I used a template for my bachelors thesis, made specifically for my university, but it is more or less usable everywhere: https://github.com/novoid/LaTeX-KOMA-template

Mediocre: most companies I worked for had a Word template which had either technical issues or typographic/styling issues or both. I'd be surprised if your company is different. As a matter of fact, most LaTeX templates are quite fine in contrast even when they aren't as sophisticated as mine. So much for professionalism of template design. SCNR. YMMV.
