Many Word-haters don't know how good Word is, simply because they are biased for "political/religious" reasons.
It is OK to be a LaTeX-lover and Word-nolover, but you don't have to be a Word-hater if you don't use Word.

- qznc 12y agoI hate the Word from ten-or-so years ago, when I used it. Allegedly newer versions are better. I like LaTeX because I know its quirks (e.g. placing floats). I don't know any Word/Powerpoint Guru, but my collegues are very good with LaTeX. I admit that I have been a Word-hater and I stopped doing it, because I don't know the current Word. Guilty. I have to use the current Powerpoint now and then and hate it, but that might just be my ignorance.
