It’s strange how few people use pandoc for word processing. Even if your goal is just to produce a docx file in the end it’s so much more pleasant to write it in markdown in a distraction free editor you’re comfortable with than to deal with word or writer.

With the latest versions of pandoc and org-mode I find I write nearly exclusively org-files which are then converted to other file types without any pain. I don't think I've even had to write raw documents LaTeX in the last year, other than using TikZ for graphics.

Emacs+evil+org+pandoc is the Swiss army chainsaw of text manipulation.

From my experience this is just unfortunate lack of awareness that Pandoc exists.

Along the same lines, I've used Pandoc to convert a org-mode file into a revealjs presentation.
