This is an interesting article, with some nice packages.

However, just in case anyone is starting out in LaTeX, I've been involved in over 100 papers written in LaTeX, and wrote my thesis, and it is incredibly rare that I've found the speed at which I can edit LaTeX in an advanced way was my limiting factor.

Nowadays I often use overleaf, which has an incredibly simplistic editor, but makes multi-person editing so easy I find it worth it.

The one 'avanced feature' I do find really useful is finding 'jump to this point in the PDF' from your editor, and 'jump to this point in the LaTeX' back from your PDF viewer back to the editor.
