What LaTeX setup do you use?
In terms of LaTeX entry, I make heavy use of CDLaTeX (config), math-delimiters, latex-change-env (expository blog post here), as well as aas (config) (as well as many macros, of course!). I also have a few interesting-ish functions that e.g. automatically insert dollars around single characters, so that writing long documents is more ergonomic; I've written about these things a little bit here (this also showcases the preview feature of AUCTeX, which I quite like), and here.

What are your favorite packages for improving vanilla emacs text editing?
aas with tempo (built-in). I use these to replace yasnippet and cdlatex for inserting templets and latex. Pretty neat.

Trigger when a symbol is inserted OR complete my citations when I insert @
I use aas (auto-activating-snippets) to do something similar. https://github.com/ymarco/auto-activating-snippets

org-auctex: Async LaTeX preview support for Org-mode using AucTeX. Mostly deprecated since Org is getting a new async LaTeX preview system.

What LaTeX setup do you use?
xenops looks quite interesting, I hadn't seen it before. I do also render my LaTeX maths in org, though with org-auctex instead of the default org-latex-preview (much faster!). The workflow is mostly that I write some maths inline to org, not inside of any source block—much less noise. When I'm done with a particular piece of code, I simply rerender the whole buffer; org-auctex is fast enough so that this doesn't take very long, even in dense org documents. The SVGs are automatically unprettified whenever you are inside them, so editing is seamless.

What programs do you use for quick math note editing? (Looking for TeXmacs alternatives ...)
You can use most of the functionality of that blog post inside of Org. Things like cdlatex even have a special org-cdlatex-mode in order to be as unintrusive as possible, and for fast previews there is org-auctex (from the same author as the above post). Certainly things like autoexpanding snippets and other goodies work without a problem in Org.

My PhD Research Workflow—Emacs Inside
Just a note that latex preview support for non-file-associated buffers (including elfeed/shr buffers) is still planned for org-auctex. (Time for Emacs has been really scant this year!)

Are we living in the golden age of Emacs?
For smoother latex previews in org you can try org-auctex. It's not done yet but I find it to be a big improvement.
