I started using LaTeX for my physics homework because I kept making algebraic mistakes (mostly sign errors) when I’d copy expressions between steps. Ended up saving me time on net.
I use vim now (with syntax highlighting plus some useful macros), but I used nano for a few years and it wasn’t too bad either. I compile in the command line and have a pdf open in another window.
