LaTeX

LaTeX v2.09 was replaced by LaTeX2e in late 1993. Since then, old documents are processed in "compatibility mode", but always successfully; even if it fails to fail outright, there's always the possibility that compatibility mode may not be as compatible as you thought, or that it may vanish completely at some point in the future, or that old-style documents may not be accepted by the Learned Journal of your choice.

TeX is a type-setting package.

LaTeX is a document markup language and document preparation system for the TeX typesetting package.
