I'm undoubtedly biased, but I have come to find plain LaTeX easier than
a word processor. My wife, a computer newbie, has a Mac laptop that came
with a word processor (Page, I think), and she was struggling with it. I
set her up with LaTeX, and life became easier for her, using a simple
template. Some people (but not I) might recommend LyX as a compromise.
