WinTeX is especially optimized for using it together with MikTeX but can also be used as a shell with any other LaTeX software (see CTAN LaTeX software for other TeX compilers and packages).
Key features:
- MS Office look & feel
- VBScript enabled application
- Syntax highlighting
- Auto spell automatically underlines misspelled words in your text
- Thesaurus finds synonyms
- Super fast editing of large files
- Projects
- BiBTeX editor
- Code templates

At first: It's free!
Second: Unlike some other editors and TeX software (WinEdt, PCTeX or TrueTeX for example) WinTeX is a frontend for every possible TeX system and is especially focused on usability and increased productivity in editing your TeX documents. It integrates seamlessly with any LaTeX software you are using thus giving you high value for an extremely reasonable price.
