I have to say your points 1 and 5 (which in my opinion are the same thing) is the killer reason why I write stuff in LaTeX (apart from the fact that I hate Microsoft Word with a loathing and find LibreOffice even worse). The other thing is that a LaTeX document is text - I trust my text editor to not mess it up - if I make a mistake with the format and break the document, all the text is all still there, so I can go in and fix it. With a Word/Libreoffice document, the software is doing all sorts of stuff behind my back, so I have no clue what it may have broken, or how to fix it.
