LyX – The Document Processor

LyX is fantastic. I used it for a long time. At some point I switched to TeXstudio [1], which is no longer WYSIWYG, but a great general LaTeX editor:

"Some of the outstanding features of TeXstudio are an integrated pdf viewer with (almost) word-level synchronization, live inline preview, advanced syntax-highlighting, live checking of references, citations, latex commands, spelling and grammar."

TeXStudio is also what I recommend to LaTeX beginners and intermediates. Otherwise, VSCode with LaTeX Workshop works great. It has the huge advantage of being a general-purpose editor, since I don't like the idea of having one IDE per language.

Other than that, the second part of "integrated pdf viewer with (almost) word-level synchronization" is not really TeXStudio's achievement, if they leverage SyncTeX [0] for this.

I wrote all my Master thesis and reports with TeXstudio. It's a great piece of software, very accessible.
