LaTeX has, like Org Mode, this mythical aura of being super hard. However, replicating the functionality of Word is trivial and takes an hour or two for a savvy computer user to grasp.

There's always Overleaf, Pandoc or LyX to make things even simpler. LyX in particular deserves to be better known.

Complex things, like TikZ, are of course difficult and time consuming. But those are impossible using Word.

IMHO, the biggest advantages of LaTeX are reproducibility and reference management. Big Word documents are quite fragile. And reference management is a mess.
