The idea that LaTeX belongs in the same set of superior technology that nobody uses as suggested by your examples would come as shocking news to the many publishers that wouldn't take any thing but! As long as your information exchange is nothing more than what can be done in simple typesetting terms, I suppose you could get by with Word, but as soon as you try and do anything outside of the narrow boundaries that the redmond developers conceived of, then you are seriously out of luck. Even with the advances made since TeX was invented, Word just isn't in the same class.

Apologies. The tone of your response led me to re-read my post, and on reflection I understand how it might have seemed like a flame. This was not my intent at all. In your message to which my post was a reply, you began with a rhetorical question concerning how welcome your subsequent comment expressing surprise at the use of MS Word would be. I was expressing my own surpise at your surprise. Dismay? Yes, perhaps. Disappointment? Well, okay. But surprise? It seemed slightly stronger than seemed appropriate on an off-topic post, ... dmm Just call me the Anti-Gates ...	[reply]
