TeX-friendly editors and shells

There are good TeX-writing environments and editors for most operating systems; some are described below, but this is only a personal selection:

Windows

$\Reponse$ TeXworks (see above) is also available for Windows systems.

$\Reponse$ So does TeXstudio.

$\Reponse$ WinEdt, a shareware package, is also highly spoken of. It too provides a shell for the use of TeX and related programs, as well as a powerful and well-configured editor. The editor can generate its output in UTF-8 (to some extent), which is useful when working with XeTeX (and other “next-generation” (La)TeX applications).

$\Reponse$ TeXnicCenter is a (free) TeX-oriented development system, uniting a powerful platform for executing (La)TeX and friends with a configurable editor.

$\Reponse$ Both emacs and vim are available in versions for Windows systems.

OS/2, Atari, Amiga, NeXT...

epmtex offers an OS/2-specific shell.

Atari, Amiga and NeXT users also have nice environments. LaTeX users looking for make-like facilities should review the answer on Makefiles for LaTeX documents.

While many (La)TeX-oriented editors can support work on BibTeX files, there are many systems that provide specific “database-like” access to your BibTeX files — see “creating a bibliography file”.
