I wrote my Masters thesis in LaTeX, which is why I wrote my PhD thesis in Word.

I've seen people crying over Word for not being able to work with proper styles or dealing correctly with cross references, bibliography included, all of which is relatively easy for Latex. Bibliographies in Word is almost impossible without a third party plugin like Zotero, and less able people doesn't even know they exist.

There's a well working line of business in my Uni that consist on properly final-formatting thesis with Word.

Luckily for Microsoft "easy" products, there are a legion of people that work for free as technical support.
