VSCode-LaTeX-Inkscape VS inklayers

I would also recommend only really using the nVim setup from your links if you really like Vim. IMO VSCode is much easier and feature-rich for LaTeX, not to mention the deep language support for everything else. Here is a setup in VSCode that contains some other tools that you may not need, but it works very well for the needs of myself and some of my collaborators.

Like why not? see this and this.

Years ago, I turned the whole set-up into VSCode and documented them here. Some extensions I used are really powerful and even the author of LaTeX-Workshop doesn't know them, e.g., Hypersnips (according to here). It's now over years and most of the functionalities are stable, so maybe it's a good time to promote it here and popularize this incredible workflow inspired by Gilles Castel.

First of all, I'm still sad that we lost Gilles Castel in 2022, RIP. I myself implemented Gilles Castel's solution in VSCode in this repo, and took ~10 rigorous notes (each around 100 pages) in class, and I'm happy with the result. Some post-production is needed, but I only use my free time to do so. Hence it's all fine. After you get proficient, you can literally do everything in real time, as I'm currently doing. I think it's essential to understand your tool well if you're going to work with it in the next decades (I'm assuming this for you, but if you're not, then nevermind), hence some investment is not meaningless.

As a CS student, I and my friend think it's probably a good idea to create a brained-new LaTeX-focus editor, which solves the above problems and with modern UI (yep, I know texmacs can pretty much do all the jobs I mentioned, but hey, it's almost 20 years old now) design and relatively user-friendly learning curve. Hence, I'm here to ask you guys what's exactly the problems you have with your currently LaTeX editors, with your personal environment (like OS, Editor, additional (special) configuration). Here is mine, as a starting point. I would like to hear any of your comments, suggestions, and opinions, since this little project is still in the discussion stage, nothing is decided!

I recently completed the detailed tutorial on how to use LaTeX and Inkscape to take notes for math courses (of course, you can also take notes for other courses) Here is the GitHub repo. The original idea is taken from Gilles Castel's blog, which is incredible and I take this in order to meet my needs since I'm not comfortable using Linux and native Vim, so I create this repo to document how I transfer the whole setup from Linux-Vim to macOS-VSCode, which I think is more common and user-friendly.
