Preach it. I remember trying to a avoid LaTeX to submit for a journal. Microsoft Word was powerful enough, right? And how hard could it be? It was agonizing, painful, and downright schooled me on just how imprecise the popular editor could be. Weird flow issues, difficulty getting the spacing right, crappy support for certain kinds of figures, and knowing my submission could be rejected simply because it wasn't conformant to the journal's standards. I never did it again. LaTeX sucks, and the reasons behind necessitating it probably suck too, but as it stands within the world of research? It is an unavoidable reality for many.
