I hate GUIs so much I literally avoided like a mini panic attack writing an abstract in Word Online and LibreOffice the other day. I did it though because somebody asked and I respect their need for a .docx file in this unique context.
I hate GUIs and I hate binary files.

IT IS SO BAD, ISN'T IT? I've been working on a requirements document in Word format because it's what the client is using, but the formatting is an inconsistent mess and I have to waste more time like, keeping paragraph spacing consistent than actually writing.

I need to figure out some kind of alternative for generating documents in their formatting, but that allows writing in a simple enough plain text format. It has to be easy enough to use that even Word people will prefer it though...

I could/would do something like that just for myself. But that also takes a lot of fussing, ultimately, to get the format looking right (albeit less). But it also has to be something other people can use, and these people can't write latex

This is why I avoid it. Its pointless overhead for something that for me is less than yearly.
