First, many people don't know how to use WYSIWYG word processing programs, you'revery right about that!

Second, both systems have overlapping use cases which makes it difficult to differentiate between "technically better" and "better in my opinion", i.e. objectively vs. subjectively.

Finally, use what tool you're nist comfortable with. But you may want to invest time to get more comfortable with another tool, if your current one isn't suitable for your job.

PS: things I do repeatedly, I do best in LaTeX. Because for other things I've already forgotten how to do them and have to re-learn them each time, which might be more time consuming than using other tools (or just Markdown with LaTeX support hehe)
