This serves as good argumentation:

For all of those reading this and which have other people making demands
such as "you must use this (non-free) software", please remind these
people that what matters is the content, not the tool in this case.

Besides, if they really want to go the "efficiency" route, they should
just accept plain text files since these are lightweight. ;)
