> Looking at Latex, I don't think hand tuning some parameters until you get right look in every single case is much better user experience...
In my experience you do that more in Word then in Latex (the I added some paragraphs here and wtf is that picture two pages later doing now problem).
The issue is to some degree quite fundamental to the underlying challenges of laying out formatted text with embedded things, affecting both word and LaTex.
through that is assuming you now how to properly use Word / LaTex if you don't you can cause yourself a huge amount of work ;)
