I started with TeXworks (+ XeTeX, which both happen to have been created by Jonathan Kew) and I found no reason to change since then. The only slight drawback is that autocomplete support exists but is rudimentary, however it doesn't bother me that much.

Which editor do you prefer?

Usually Neovim and :!tectonic main.tex, nothing fancy. For preview ideally Zathura or Preview on Mac.

Also VSCode is quite usable, since there are some pdf preview plugins.
