So then, am I the only person on the list to use LaTeX for these 
purposes?  I'm no professional (heck, I'm still a [final year] student) but 
isn't LaTeX is a real typesetting language?  Personally, I think that it 
produces much better results than MS Word (albeit with some extra 
effort needed) and it's sectioning and automatic layout capabilities alone 
make it worth its weight in gold for writing dissertations with :o) (I should 
know -- I've just finished mine about 6 hours ago!).
