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. 
Next time and if the overhead is worth it. How do you go back to latex/markdown when they send you edits? CC @ZKamvar @compbiobryan

Tagging people because Twitter is shit at threads and you're all recommending the same thing.

That is the hard part. Pandoc won't convert directly from word to markdown but I think it will from .odt or HTML files. if you have to make round trips, it definitely gets more annoying

OK, so pointless. I do this once every ~5 years for >500 word abstracts.
-
Yeah, in that case it is probably more pain than dealing with Word
-
Yeah, Word Online, not even Word Word. I ended up using LibreOffice anyway.
