I wrote my CS thesis in college in LaTeX. I used TeXShop in OSX and it was great. Tried various word processors first (MS Word, Open Office, ThinkFree Office, Neo Office) and with all of them I spent 90% of the time just trying to format block quote code segments, leaving me with little time for actual content. Formatting the code snippets in LaTeX was a breeze. The only think that got a little annoying was tables that spanned over multiple pages, but that's a reasonable price.
