I was using TeXnicCenter since I wrote my first file in TeX and it has always been my editor of choice. Until today. The eclipse project texlipse (http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/) has always been very promising and finally I decided to change to eclipse for a couple of reasons. Following features of TeXnicCenter which are now also available with texlipse:
- Forward search and inverse search in conjunction with SumatraPDF
- Auto completion for user defined labels
- Auto completion for environments without typing “\begin”. So you can start typing “descr” and it will be replaced by “\begin{description} …”
- Lightweight interface with the LaTeX perspective
Furthermore, texlipse provides several very useful features. For example:
- Auto completion for unknown environments. Start typing “begin” and the end tag will be created automatically
- Integrated parser and support of error markers
- Automatic closing brackets
- Context dependant code assist. (Special mathmode commands are only shown in a mathmode environment)
- Automatic \item tag in item environments
- Better spell checker
- Counting words
- Support of TODO list from TODO comments
- Integration of subversion in eclipse
- Automatic incremental build
- Context help with code assist
- Auto completion of labels shows a small preview of the context in which the label was defined
- Available for all major platforms
- Very active project
So long, Tom
