### Editor
In Linux, I usually use [Kile](http://kile.sourceforge.net/), but there is no *nice* port of Kile to other operation systems. 
So in Windows I use [LEd](http://latexeditor.org/) (which was also very helpful in learning LaTeX when I first started). 

I sometimes use [TeXMaker](http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/) and will hopefully switch from LEd to TeXMaker completely (LEd is not open-source and is not actively developed; TeXMaker is open-source, actively developed, and also works on other operating systems.). 

There is also a fork of TeXMaker that I have not tried yet: [TexMakerX](http://texmakerx.sourceforge.net/).
