Always, I like read the MS' RTF file
Even in a professional context I avoid using MSWord.
From my own experience with LaTeX, I have two phases when I write a text.
One phase for which a visual mode is essential, it's when I check or modify the visual aspect of the text when I decide if I take for document style an 'article' or a 'book' or ..., or before send it or print it.
The longer phase is when I write the text, no visualisation in required, when I type '\begin{itemize}...\end{itemize}' I'm not interested in the visual aspect, because I know how work 'itemize' and the result. In this phase, with LaTeX, I'm concentrated on the text, in its meaning, the idea to develop, not on the appearance.
More seriously, some times, a visual aspect is important, like for a CV
