Overleaf is great, I use a self hosted instance with my company. Only downside to self hosting is that the git integration does not work

#13Personally i just use doom emacs
Re: Ask HN: What LaTeX editor do you use?
#14Emacs with various -TeX modes, mainly in Doom Emacs with the latex flag.
Emacs with auctex, cdlatex, pdf-view and always two frames. C-c C-a is super useful. Also pdf-view-auto-crop-mode.
cdlatex and in-buffer previews with (org-latex-preview) are great too when not writing in a .tex file.

#15Overleaf 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).

#16Vim and vim-latex.

#17My 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.

#18I've been using Texmaker for the past 10 years for the few occasions I need to edit some LaTeX file. My needs are really basic so I'm not sure if I'm missing something compared to other editors.

#19I 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.

#20I'm using TeXworks, bundled in MiKTeX.
It has a compile button and syncing, that's all I want for a LaTeX editor.
