Which LaTeX editor do you use? (self.latex)

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?

Neovim with vimtex and texlab language server. Learning nvim takes some time, but I made preconfig, which allows to start a bit easier

Plus there's kickstart.nvim if you want a more general-purpose starting point. I'm actually switching to it as a starting point now, and figuring out how to transfer anything I need from my old vimrc.

I second this. Getting started started takes some effort, but writing in Neovim is such a joy on its own. Especially implementing comments from other people is much faster and if you use git, you can also easily switch back to earlier versions and/or compare your changes.
