This is partly true. Ask a pro to start from scratch to whip out document
and he will probably take hours. Pros can use *roff or TeX to produce
documents in a short time because they have a collection of templates files 
(or old *roff/TeX files) for them to choose and modify from. Perhaps
some kind souls will care to post some useful templates (e.g. letters,
reports, tables etc).

Starting from templates files might be much easier than traversing
menus in WYSIWYG word processors.

I use LaTeX for writing reports. I modify old reports to get new ones
all the time (except the first time of course.) Before LaTeX, I was
using MS WORD.  It takes me approx half to one-third the time to
prepare a standard report in LaTeX now. I am totally satisfied.
Everybody should try *roff or *TeX. If you are not satisfied, it is
always easy to switch back.
