I've tried it. It works, output is beautiful. The learning curve can be
a little steep but there is good documentation, the CTAN (Comprehensive
TeX archive network), newsgroup archives and many examples out there.

An easy way into it is LyX, which wraps a GUI around LaTeX. It renders
the document on-screen in a semi-wysiwym (what you see is what you mean)
format and you don't see most of the LaTeX tags. The keybindings are
sort of emacs-like.
