I don't know, I don't find Word or LibrePffice documents to be very visually appealing. Maybe I spend a lot of time reading nicely typeset documents, but MS Office just doesn't cut it any more.
You can compile from markdown to LaTeX, getting nearly the best of both worlds.

- nxc18 10y agoIn 5 minutes you can configure your word document to look just like something LaTeX would output. It is interesting that learning LaTeX is a completely reasonable thing to spend time on but learning the basics of styles (surprisingly similar to how styles work everywhere else) is thoroughly unacceptable.
- voltagex_ 10y agoWhat do you do in your first five minutes in a new Word document then? Or do you have a go-to template?
- Ar-Curunir 10y agoLaTeX is a more developer friendly tool than Office is, so it makes sense.
- totony 10y agoLicenses of office are pretty expensive and the software is extremely bloated. It is also proprietary and not on linix Latex has bloat problems too but there must be some lightweight distribution i just didnt find Same for libre office, extremel bloated, but i still work sometimes with it. Latex has also better support in a lot of communities and a ton of packages.
