TeXnicCenter

What I love about TeXnicCenter is that it has pre-defined LaTeX snippets which makes it easy to create complex formula and documentation particularly for computer scientists. It goes without saying that TeXnicCenter has all the common features like syntax highlighting, bracket matching and spell checking. To sum up, if you are a Windows user, TeXnicCenter is one of the best LaTeX editors that you can use in 2022 and you don’t have to look any further.

LyX

you are forgetting LyX. I think LyX is the best choice for writing latex docs without knowing much of latex. This can be awful for purists, but it is a solution for many people looking for a pragmatic approach to latex writing. Also, the final latex documents are quite clean and can be easily edited.
