It's generally the opposite: working in Org is a pleasant journey for
me... except when there are dozens of "/" and "*" in a document, and
they placed in 'unhappy' positions. For example, in phonetics the
"/ ... /" notation is used a lot, and there may be cases like:
#+begin_example
/foo/ /bar/ /baz/
#+end_example
In grammar the asterisk is also used a lot, to designate that a term is
not attested or to indicate that it is ungrammatical:
#+begin_example
*foo *bar *baz
#+end_example
And we can even have the combination of both:
#+begin_example
/*foo/ /*bar/ /*baz/
#+end_example
And in certain cases, they are usually expressed in italics. With these
landscapes, it's worth having a few entities rather than working from
pure LaTeX, which is more accurate, but horribly more verbose.
This is a page from a book I typesetted a couple of years ago (when the
pandemic started), entirely from Org:
