Just for curiosity's sake, is academias prolific use of it because its
ingrained into them, or does it really outclass the alternatives?
It is not engrained in academia in general, but predominant in things that need
complicated outlets and equations.
I know that in general use, I find Word horrendous. But I've never
tried formulae in it, etc., nor used any word processor as a precision
page layout engine, either.
Try out both and see the difference!
