Just to offer a counter-point here.....
If I was doing a lot of heavy-duty design work (as it is, the design
work I do is lighter-weight, even with my own books etc), I'd probably
keep an up-to-date TeX-Live installation installed. I don't think
this is always a bad idea. In fact I there is an important role for
such a tool.
The thing is, though, just because it's a good tool for some
environments doesn't mean it's a good tool for everything. Not
everything is a nail, and not even all nails need the same kinds of
hammers......
Best wishes,
