Why do we still need to submit horrible looking manuscripts (double spacing, figs separately) to journals when we build them in LaTeX? 

I have had to although I tried ignoring it. Nice you haven't been forced to!

I had had 2 manuscripts sent back. I am using http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/140796/generating-a-separate-pdf-file-of-tables-and-figures-from-a-latex-file … and it works so that's nice.
