I work in a lab which publishes in both CS and biology journals. Biologists require Word. Most our people hate it more than LaTeX, since in LaTeX it is at least difficult to break the template accidentally. Often the writing starts in GDocs, then gets moved to LaTeX, then converted to Word and cleaned up manually.

I'd love Word if it had that one feature, disable direct formatting, to enable changing formatting only through styles.

BTW Latex with embedded Markdown is a rather pleasant combo after you have it set up properly.
