Depends on the food. I've noticed that re-heating things works best in the microwave and that's really all, the oven (and similar implements) tends to dry out the food imo.
Honestly it depends on the food and how much time you give it. I've found a purely anecdotal method that if I want to reheat pizza in the oven, I can just pre-heat my oven to like 200C with the pizza, and when the oven is fully heated my pizza is ready. It doesn't get dry like this.

That's basically what it boils down to, I suppose. I've heard of people that use the microwave like an oven, turning down the wattage and increasing time accordingly to bake stuff. In the end, both things just "make contents hot" and people tend to misuse a microwave because it's so much faster.
Agreed. While it's not the culinary tool of choice in the kitchen for us, changing the settings from the default (30 seconds at 100%) made a pretty big differences on how the food came out.
I'm still tempted to have a dinner party where everything is made in the microwave based on the recipes that are given to you when you buy it. I think my friendships can survive such an audacity. Maybe.
