I have enjoyed switching mine to HTML format which I then generate a PDF from. The only downside is that different browsers can render stuff slightly different, but that’s normally fixable with one line css change. And it’s not like I need to update my resume constantly on different machines.
I was on Word, then LibreOffice Writer.
Now thinking of making it a markdown source, with CSS styling to get an HTML based PDF.
This way, the same source can be used on a webpage with different generation code.
This seems to me, to be simpler than LATEX, but still good enough for a resume.
kramdown is more fully featured and is a Ruby Gem.
discount is made in C and is more suitable if you are using it in an on-the-fly render process (∵ lesser CPU cycles), but it has lesser functionality features.

I like this idea. What tool do you use for converting the markdown to html?
