There's an option in Word to do blackline comparisons. You can even turn on and off the comparison to flip between the marked-up and clean version without switching out of the document. It's also easy to add note balloons.
I don't particularly care how people choose to edit their work; for me personally though, it feels like a waste of time to mark-up a document in pen and then have an assistant make the changes.
