Thank you! I submitted a paper to a conference this week but my advisor does not use LaTeX. You can imagine the suffering I had to go through during the draft process.
It's such a PAIN! to have to work on Word for any kind of scientific writing. The formatting issues make me want to cry. I'm also on Linux so no desktop Word client and using Word or google docs on the web is extremely slow and frustrating. LibreOffice Writer comes with some compatibility issues.
Anyone who is doing technical work and needs to have stuff in writing often definitely needs to learn Markdown at the very least, imo. You are needlessly limiting yourself and causing a lot of pain to collaborators by sticking to Word.
