That's what brought me to LuaTeX and LuaLaTeX: The ability to use TeX
Gyre Schola font, which looks better than everything except its
lookalike Century Schoolbook, but somehow, about 6 years ago, Century
Schoolbook stopped working for me.

Since beginning to use LuaTeX, I've enjoyed that it does everything the
others do, and by using it all the time, I gain expertise and
everything's easier.
