    Word is great if you only have words in it. Add a picture? A chart or graph? Suddenly your words have become lemmings with oppositional defiant disorders and jump off the margins.

    I dunno maybe they fixed that in recent releases but I’m not paying for a SaaS word processor.

      You clearly don’t know how use Word :P

      Trust me it has a learning curve, once you learn how to align things properly and use the provided options in reasonable ways it doesn’t fail, ever.

        If word has a long learning curve, and LaTeX also has a long learning curve.

        Why should people use something that is close sourced, spies on user, and expensive; instead of using tools that is free, private, standardized, and open?

          Because businesses aren’t going to switch to something no other businesses are using. It’s a catch 22. They won’t switch because it’ll cause problems, but it causes problems because they won’t switch.
