[Tugindia] A LaTex Editor that is user friendly

[Harish Kumar Holla]

Dear LaTeX users
Thank you all for the overwhelming suggestions. It will be nice if somebody
suggests editors for the beginners who want to quit word and start LaTeXing.
For windows users I suggest Texmaker, TeXnic center and LyX as freewares.
Winedt and Inlage are excellent but not freewares. Of these I vote for
winedt for average users due to its macro abilities. Inlage is good due to
its ability to produce equations, sketches etc. It will be nice if the
producers of these editors give a reduced price exclusively for India so
that every one can afford to them. Thank you all.
