Word kerning and hyphenation still sucks, so -10.

Seriously, there are many places (CS publishing) where there are biases against papers written in Word.

Very true. I'm unlikely to take an arXiv article seriously if it hasn't been typeset in LaTeX.

And yet, in other disciplines, Word is the standard and you get very, very strange looks if you use anything different.
