    Aligning things in Word is a joke. So many times shit just decides it’s going to fucking being 3 spaces over there instead of directly below something.

    Paint however gives you pixel perfect placement.

      Word is great if you only have words in it. Add a picture? A chart or graph? Suddenly your words have become lemmings with oppositional defiant disorders and jump off the margins.

      I dunno maybe they fixed that in recent releases but I’m not paying for a SaaS word processor.

        You clearly don’t know how use Word :P

        Trust me it has a learning curve, once you learn how to align things properly and use the provided options in reasonable ways it doesn’t fail, ever.

          If word has a long learning curve, and LaTeX also has a long learning curve.

          Why should people use something that is close sourced, spies on user, and expensive; instead of using tools that is free, private, standardized, and open?

            Because businesses aren’t going to switch to something no other businesses are using. It’s a catch 22. They won’t switch because it’ll cause problems, but it causes problems because they won’t switch.
