Every time a new Office comes out I have a look to see how far along the long road of functionality Word progressed to come even close to the functionality of LaTeX for Computer Science papers, and laugh.
One of my friends even switched to LaTeX for his medical-based PhD after he saw with how much ease I use it, especially figure and table numbering and captions. If only the rest of the medical world could catch up and allow LaTeX in their journals instead of requiring doc.
Yeah, for heavy-duty writing, there is nothing that competes with LaTeX out there.
I am starting to understand that this is the true for designing presentations too. I can't imagine getting Powerpoint to do the things that Beamer does so easily.
Coming from someone who works in it, the whole biosciences field is woefully out of touch with good technology practices. People demand MS office documents for things that could easily be pdfs or txts all the time ><
