And if you are already familiar with using a template and styles, using 
structure should be transparent to you. In fact you'll embrace it because 
instead of having to remember which style you use in which circumstance, 
the choices will be limited to only what is appropriate.

Really, in my experience the most outspoken against the implementation of 
structure were those that were more concerned with making the text 'look 
right' and often abused both templates and styles.
