I started with TeXworks (+ XeTeX, which both happen to have been created by Jonathan Kew) and I found no reason to change since then. The only slight drawback is that autocomplete support exists but is rudimentary, however it doesn’t bother me that much.
Which editor do you prefer?
Neovim with vimtex and texlab language server. Learning nvim takes some time, but I made preconfig, which allows to start a bit easier
Plus there’s kickstart.nvim if you want a more general-purpose starting point. I’m actually switching to it as a starting point now, and figuring out how to transfer anything I need from my old vimrc.
VS Code with the LaTeX workshop plugin. Works like a charm. You need to have LaTeX installed in your system
I was using TexStudio, but eventually I landed on Emacs – the keyboard shortcuts it provides are very convenient. For managing references, I use JabRef to maintain the biblatex file.
Overleaf, because I don’t have to download an application.
I’m basic and just use vim for writing the document and zathura for a PDF reader. Recently started using lualatex over pdflatex for compiling due to some max memory error on a poster with a ton of graphs.
