Look, I have no problems with LaTeX, I like it a lot. At the moment, 
it's the best tool for what I need to do (which isn't fancy.I neither 
need math, nor any special scripts). But there are things which I like 
better in a WYSIWYG app: footnotes is an example. To have them in your 
main text is not nice IMO and unfortunately, none of the common LaTeX 
editors provide collapsable footnotes. I prefer to have the footnotes 
not intervene with my main text. But currently, there are too many 
things LaTeX does better (the combination of bibtex and multibib is 
hard to beat), but I'm always willing to try new things.
