You should try LyX.  It's fast, and quite good for academic papers I
suspect.  It doesn't let you tweak everything as readily as MS Word
but tries to do the right thing on its own, and supports all the features
needed for papers - footnotes, bibliography, table of contents, mathematical
equations, etc.  I recommend going through the tutorial that comes with
it.

Of course an even geekier geek would bypass all the GUI stuff and write
TeX by hand.  :-)  I don't do that yet but might learn to eventually.
