My colleagues always used LyX[1], which put me off in the beginning as it looks quite old-fashioned but it's actually a really powerful editor. 1: https://www.lyx.org/

I would say the killer feature of LyX (how to pronounce that, Luke?)

is the almost “instantaneous” quasi-WYSIWYG.

Wish there was something more hacker friendly (and hacker cred bestowing) that does instant, actual WYSIWYG.

I use overleaf these days mostly because overleaf makes it effortless to work across multiple machines. I still have my neovim + texlab [1] setup just in case though. [1]: https://github.com/latex-lsp/texlab

You can even host your own overleaf instance, I used to be on vscodium + latex workshop like another commented, but hosting my own overleaf instance has made me more mobile and collaboration is a ton easier now

Overleaf does everything what i need and it works so frictionless that I haven't installed latex locally for years now. I used it for both, my bachelor and master thesis as well as some other bigger projects.

But at some point you have to pay! (number of projects, features, not sure of exact conditions).

Or host your own

You can get a free premium account by linking your IEEE collabratec account to overleaf. This works even without an IEEE membership.
