Come in if you are using VSCode.
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.

Is it worth learning LaTeX for live notetaking?
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.

Survey: your LaTeX editor
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'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim (2019)
I am unable to reply to any comments, so I’ll add my reply to blagie as a top-level comment instead: Gilles himself documents his process of using Inkscape here: castel.dev/post/lecture-notes-2/
As a summary, he uses a custom keyboard shortcut manager¹ which allows him to compos multiple keystrokes (and also saves commonly used styles):
> For example, when I press `s` and `f` simultaneously, my shortcut manager will apply a solid stroke and a grey fill to the current selection. When I want the stroke to be thick, I press `s+f+g` together, where `g` stands for thick (as the `t` key is hard to reach).
[1]: he makes it available on GitHub: https://github.com/gillescastel/inkscape-shortcut-manager
>I want to know what conceivable workflow in Inkscape would allow those sorts of figures in even a significant fraction of lecture speed, let alone real-time

I've also done LaTeX for notes (in EMACS), and how he's able to get speed AND good looks AND accuracy at the same time is mind-blowing.

A workflow mixing VSCode + LaTeX + Inkscape.
Now, I basically bring it to macOS with VS Code: please take a look here. The functionality is basically the same, even with Gilles Caste's inkscape-shortcut-manager!
Since some of the underlying tools like inkscape-figures-manager and inkscape-shortcut-manager are specific to Linux and macOS (even worse, while the former does support macOS, the latter only support Linux, hence I need to write new scripts with macOS specific tool to achieve the same functionality), so sadly, windows users are left behind...
