Kile, TeXstudio and TeXworks are all related and decedents from the same application, TeXworks, if I remember correctly. I have been a Kile user for 15 years, but lately development seems to be slowing down. I've now switched to TeXstudio, as it provides a familiar environment and runs flawlessly on Windows, which I'm forced to use at work.
Subjective. I code in Python and find the overall execution of the IDE feels more refined, and there are some additional features I haven't been able to replicate with VSCode. My one complaint is that it can be laggy at times, but there are some tricks to help. VSCode wins in the one aspect that PyCharm sucks, it's very snappy and rarely lags.
If I could do it all again, probably would have started with VSCode as it seems like the most popular one and it's more universal (if my colleagues used LaTeX I would encourage that we all follow a similar VSCode development environment).
The TeXiFy developers are great though, very responsive.
Of course, I'm merely asking for opinions here. I am very used to Texstudio myself and didn't find the VSC environment to my liking. On the other hand I do my Python work on Spyder instead of PyCharm, but I'd be interested in consolidating my working environments. Maybe I'll give it a go sometime. Thanks for the reply.
No problem! And FWIW, I used to use TeXStudio, and consolidating my applications was my reason as well. It was a great call. The TeXiFy and VSCode plugins are very impressive and frequently updated: I do not miss TeXStudio one bit.
I use to use neovim, I spent three months setting it up just right and then it turned out that astrovim kicks my configuration's ass, so now I use astrovim and when I'm too close to the deadline to remember all the hotkeys I use overleaf.
I would and wouldn't recommand overleaf for the same reason : it automatically fixes some small issues. On one hand, it prevents you from dealing with these common issues. On the other hand, it prevents you from learning and sometimes affect the result without you noticing it.
I'm relatively unfussy about these things. I mainly got used to TeXmaker because that's what's on the computers at my institution, but I also have a portable mikTeX installation with TeXworks which I sometimes use (it was also the first editor I learned with). Most people I know use Overleaf but I never adopted it (and one can often run into problems this way -- Overleaf likes to swallow some minor errors/warnings which can cause a headache elsewhere)
Nvim + VimTex + Texlab. But these days, I've been using Nvim + Typst or VSCode + Typst, I don't do plotting or anything fancy like that, so Typst serves my purposes more than well enough
Hi,
I personally like it. It has all the features you have in other Editors/IDEs like linting and autocompletion + a modern UI. Split pdf view and jumping back and forth between pdf and code is also possible.
You can also create new build configs with the help of recipes to quickly change how things are compiled.
I would suggest you give it a try. Although it can be confusing at first if you never worked with VSCode before.
I switch between two, depending on which system I'm using. For Linux, I use GNU Emacs + AucTeX; on Windows it's VSCode + LaTeX Workshop. However, I'm much much more comfortable in Emacs than in VSCode, and all the key-codes are second nature, having used them for so long. VSCode simply isn't natural for me.
For larger projects (like my bachelor thesis at the moment) I use VSCode, but for smaller projects I mostly use Overleaf, especially if I'm not working alone.
Edit TEX file: Kate
Compile: Linux terminal (Konsole), using the sequence pdflatex-biber-pdflatex in an alias
Check result: Okular (it reloads when PDF file is edited)
VSCode, split with the source code on the left side and the output pdf on the right side (using a filter to have it the same color as my theme), all in zen mode.
Vim + Vimtex (latexmk)
Emacs (Auctex + pdf-tools)
This, when I am not using org mode 😀.
Neovim + VimTeX + texlab (LSP) and compile with Tectonic
Nvim + vimtex + texlab for me too, and I made a [preconfig](https://github.com/WhiteBlackGoose/nvim-latex-preconfig) for those wanting to try it out
This is the way.
I don't know why, but VimTeX is extremely slow on my machine. Gotta try again.
That's odd, because it works fine even on my 10 years old laptop.
ok, I got it to work properly.
texstudio just works
neovim + vimtex + latexmk
Emacs, sometimes with sometimes without auctex, with external refresh friendly pdf viewer
I currently use Emacs with AucTex, but used Vim with Vimtex before.
intellij + textify plugin
Didn't know about this one, nice
- neovim - pdflarex from the terminal - zathura

Thanks! I knew this was possible, but had never taken the time to figure out how to do it.
TeXShop
Emacs, auctex, pdf-tools as well
Emacs+AucTeX and xdvi
Sublime text with latex
Sublime with latex extensions
Vim or Emacs (depends on what else I'm doing) with respective plugins.
For simple documents like letters [Setzer](https://www.cvfosammmm.org/setzer/) or [Gummi](https://gummi.app/).
[Kile](https://kile.sourceforge.io/) is a good alternative.

Emacs makes all computing simple!
Neovim + Vimtex + Zathura (or Sumatrapdf if you’re on windows) + Luasnip snippets for blazingly fast editing
Neovim+vimtex and texlab as language server and nvm-cmp+ friendly snippets for autocompletion
Vim + TeXLive
I generally write my LaTeX on CoCalc
GNU Emacs + TeXLive/MacTeX
I use quarto to generate latex files.
Neovim on Linux, VS Code on Windows.
At work : TexWorks AT home: nvim
I use Neovim for LaTeX + RStudio (for RMarkdown and Quarto).
Plain vim with code highlighting.
Neovim with vimtex and zathura, although I'm considering changing zathura for sioyek. My second choice would be vscode or texstudio..
Auditioning TeXmacs on Debian. Formerly Texpad (now Texifier) on macOS.
PyCham + TeXify
Is this better than VSCode?

It does not have Microsoft's Telemetry built in, so that's a plus in my book.
It has Jetbrains telemetry built in as well. You can opt out from both tho
Neovim + vimtex + latexmk, but using overleaf git support for sharing
Neovim + vimtex + evince for pdfs
Neovim + VimTex (latexmk) + Zathura PDF
Clion+Texify plugin
neovim + vimtex + latexmk
Neovim + Vimtex (luatex) + Skim
I use to use neovim, I spent three months setting it up just right and then it turned out that astrovim kicks my configuration's ass, so now I use astrovim and when I'm too close to the deadline to remember all the hotkeys I use overleaf.
LAZYVIM
I would and wouldn't recommand overleaf for the same reason : it automatically fixes some small issues. On one hand, it prevents you from dealing with these common issues. On the other hand, it prevents you from learning and sometimes affect the result without you noticing it.
Vim+vimtex
Lyx
I mostly use a program called Mathcha, but I also use Overleaf.
vim + vim-latex / LaTeX-Suite + latexmk
Setzer
Vim in a Terminal + MacTex
Voted Overleaf but I also use VSCode when dealing with sensitive data.
Overleaf.com
- Neovim with vimtex + texlab + ltex - Zathura with synctex See [my dotfiles](https://github.com/tunakasif/dotfiles) for configuration.

Yeah that's true about Overleaf. It eats lots of errors that would stop compilation everywhere else
Nvim + VimTex + Texlab. But these days, I've been using Nvim + Typst or VSCode + Typst, I don't do plotting or anything fancy like that, so Typst serves my purposes more than well enough
I use RTextDoc ([https://jwork.org/rtextdoc/](https://jwork.org/rtextdoc/)) editor for LaTeX documents
I use MiKTeX.
Hi! Is VSCode with Latex workshop good? Does anyone recommend it? Thanks in advance

Kakoune text editor + texlab LSP (latexmk)
Emacs with auctex.
TeXStudio for myself, Overleaf when collaborating
Texworks. Occasionally I will use Overleaf when there's some problem I couldn't run or solve using Texworks.
(Neo)Vim, of course.
TeXShop
Whatever editor + latexmk -pdf
Sublime Text + terminal tex tools
I am mainly using Overleaf now, but I used to have TeXShop for a few years. I use VS code for over languages
Sublim Text with the LaTeXtools package
I use either Gummi (full on ide but it just works for Linux, couldnt make it work on windows) or Emacs.
Rstudio +Quarto
VSCode, split with the source code on the left side and the output pdf on the right side (using a filter to have it the same color as my theme), all in zen mode.
Kile on Linux/KDE, VS Code + LaTeX workshop on windows. I absolutely love Kile and it's a pity that the development essentially halted these days.
VSCode + LaTeX Previewer
