I used to teach how to write serial letters with Word to secretaries when I was in high school.
I used to write VBA macros that call in and out SAP systems when I was a junior software engineer - because "I was young and I needed the money."™
Now I either write in Emacs or Sublime on a Linux box with 2 TB RAM, or in Overleaf (LaTeX collab Web application), and I say: "Word sucks", I shall be suffering no more.
Word does not exist in my operating system (except for QEMU), and nobody notices.
LaTeX creates beautifully typeset publications, and most day to day writing requires nothing more than plain text, which is the most durable format.
