Well, life happens to be difficult.
I am forced to use Word to deal with many people that I have to send 
documents to or to share editing tasks with. Word is not the right tool 
to use, but it has become a de facto standard in many areas.

Personally, I would much rather do everything in SGML, perhaps the 
environment I am in will be there some day, not yet tho.
