Maybe I'm just bitter that there doesn't seem to be a good typesetter.
I used LaTeX for a while, but that randomly has tiny little issues that are seemingly impossible to solve. Try coloring the background of a table cell. It will cut off 1 pixel of the cell border on the top and left of the cell, regardless of the zoom level. If you zoom out enough, the border disappears. If you zoom in enough, its almost impossible to notice. It's infuriating. And the most commonly accepted answer online? Get rid of your cell borders, your table will look better.
Word is Word. Haven't used it seriously in so long I can't properly critique it.
Unfortunately there are some things you still have to print for (or at least convert to pdf). Most of the time, you can't turn in a google doc. For most companies, they don't want you emailing them a google doc. I don't need a ton of features, I just need consistent presentation of content.
The issue with the tabs is that the length of non-tab content changes a tiny bit when you change zoom levels. If that change goes past the start of a tab, suddenly a tiny change turns into an entire tab. Explicit tabs would probably fix that, but there's no point in trying, considering many tiny little issues like that there are.
It seems I'm wrong about them dogfooding. Apparently they just don't give a shit about these issues.
