I think one big plus for LaTeX is its slowly changing nature. Word was appalling 15-20 years ago for writing technical papers. If you gave up then and learned TeX/LaTeX, you're most likely over the learning hump by now and have just needed to learn the occasional new package.

I have, for example, never really felt the need, and learning LaTeX has always been binned for "It'll be slightly more of a hassle in Word, but it'll still be done today."
