I do not use any of the mathematical elements of LaTeX and the work I do render using it is exclusively words. Just words. So really LaTeX isn't necessary for what I do. But, I write using MultiMarkdown in Scrivener, using Bibtex citekeys for referencing then export the document as LaTeX from scrivener and then compile using Texshop.

I guess I don't really have a point. Just that if you are writing essays in the humanities or sociology then markdown can have a place in your workflow
