I hate when apples are compared to oranges. Try editing a word document by editing the .docx file directly in an editor and come back to me. Then try a nice interface for LaTeX like overleaf and also come back to me. At the end of the day if you want to write a simple document, go to a word processor (I prefer Libreoffice, but Word is ok too if it's installed); if you want to write something more elaborate that you want to be in control of programmatically and have a template, go with LaTeX. The reverse can be done too, but typically it's unnecessary hours wasted for the wrong reasons.
