I am extremely proficient in LaTeX, but at one point I had to turn in a group project typeset in LaTeX with three others who had no knowledge of how LaTeX worked. This was my solution exactly. Force everyone to follow Microsoft's build styling tools and use equation editor. Then the day before we turned it in, I installed the LaTeX fonts and updated the styles and our professor had no idea. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit I stopped using LaTeX (and LyX) after that for projects... especially once I realized equation editor had a built in LaTeX mode.
