I think that I don't know if you can suit everybody's need but that is worth a try.
For myself, I already wrote a dedicated LaTeX class, because it was too cumbersome
to configure org-mode for the different kind of documents I need to produce
(not impossible, just too lengthy to duplicate parameters).
Hence, I have a class that can output exams, lab sessions texts, course notes and slides
with only a couple of options. And I export only subtrees that are configured for 
this class. it took a bit of time, but it definitely worth it.

Hi all,

I have a dream;-).

Imagine someone wrote a dedicated Org-mode LaTeX class, and the LaTeX
exporter got an option to export to this class.  The class modifies
LaTeX so that it supports all Org's elements and objects, and things
like tags, timestamps, checkboxes etc.  Moreover, the look of these
elements is configurable on the LaTeX end, and further by means of Org
options.  This way, we drop the "generic LaTeX" thing (which is nice for
people sending articles to journals etc. – so my dream should not
replace the current LaTeX exporter, only constitute a variant!), but
instead we gain a beautiful, configurable pdf rendering of Org buffers.

What do you think?
