I consider LaTeX resumes to be a secret handshake of sorts, something that makes me significantly more likely to be inclined-to-hire a candidate.
If you're preparing formatted text, LaTeX is the best tool for the job. It also has a steep learning curve. Preparing a resume with it says "I have the technical judgement to use the best tool for this job, even if I had to learn an arcane new programming language[0] to do it."
0: The best description I've ever read of TeX in general is that it's a Turing-complete programming language with a compiler that outputs printer assembly code (Postscript) rather than computer assembly.
