It's a matter of preference.

i create latex files using VIM editor, which i access using Mintty (Cygwin terminal emulator). i compile latex files using MiKTeX.

I am comfortable with Lyx (https://www.lyx.org/). You can try it.

Currently, for edit and create pdf I use TeXstudio :

https://www.texstudio.org

for finding packages, I use miktex which searchs and downloads packages automatically when you use a command which doesn't exist in packagaes you have install before :

The best in-line Latex editor I have used :

https://www.sharelatex.com/

For local installation I would use TeXMaker... which is available in several plataforms (Linux, iOS, Win)

Comment: I'm a GNU/Linux user... In my opinion, the best dedicated LaTeX editor is Kile.

For online workflow, I would recommend either sharelatex or overleaf.

Texmaker and texstudio are good.

You may choose texmaker or winedit

you can also use your text editor like notepad, wordpad and save with .tex, then run in commandline like pdflatex yourfile.tex

TeXmaker is a very easy to handle and next one is texstudio.

Both are very good for crating and editing the pdf files.

Textmaker!

I would chose either TeXmaker or TeXstudio .. I personally use TeXmaker and almost all my latex-user colleagues use TeXstudio
