My university actually required that people use MS Word for their thesis, which seemed to work out okay for many, despite such a top down approach not seeming like the best option.

Personally, I used LibreOffice anyways and while it was certainly as clunky as Word (especially once images, diagrams and formulas got involved), it was also passable.

Except that things like bibliography refused to work correctly and completely broke, about which I wrote a bit of a rant: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/libreoffice...
