TeXstudioĬurrently, TeXstudio is my first choice for a LaTeX editor. The bottom line is that you can choose any LaTeX editor but there are some that will make your life easier. If you have read the document that we will be creating in this tutorial then you should already be aware of this. This is because TeX, not the LaTeX editor that you use, is the program that actually typeset the final document and TeX is the same everywhere. In principle, you should get the same final document independently of the LaTeX editor that you use. The basic features I look for in a LaTeX editor are command autocompletion, spell checking, free to use and easy configuration of the compilation process. To have an idea of how many, check this Wikipedia article. To start, there are a lot more options for LaTeX editors than for LaTeX/TeX distributions.

The choice of a LaTeX editor can be more difficult and subjective than the choice of a LaTeX/TeX distribution.
