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

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

I just tried it with pandoc 2.2.1, and it it will convert from docx to other formats (LaTeX, markdown). That being said, it still is a bit too much overhead when trying to collaborate with those who don't want to work in plain text :/

I respect they don't in this case TBH.
