Based on the amazing Ace editing component, Caret brings professional-strength text editing to Chrome OS. With Caret, you no longer need to install a second OS to get what other platforms take for granted: a serious editor for local files, aimed at working programmers. Caret offers syntax highlighting for a wide variety of languages, and all of the standard themes that come with Ace, including emulations of coloring from other editors like Eclipse, XCode, and the Chrome Dev Tools. Once you've gotten used to making many changes with just a keystroke or two, it's hard to go back to just one cursor. Caret offers multiple cursors and selections, and support for Sublime keybindings like Ctrl-D (select next match). Why bother learning keyboard shortcuts? With the command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P), you can just start typing what you want, Caret will fuzzy-search the menu configuration, find the command you want, and execute it for you. You never need to touch the mouse again.

    "Very mature online LaTeX editor"

    Posted 2022-02-26

    Pros: Overleaf is an online LaTeX editor, which makes it easy to write LaTeX independent of the device You are using.

    The free plan offers all You need to write beautiful and very precise customizable document layouts. You would have all Your projects in a user friendly web interface, where You can organize them in folders and assign labels.

    Another pro in my opinion would be that they offer special prices for students and groups of students.

    Cons: Version Control for longer than one session is only possible in the paid plan, as well as Git/GitHub or DropBox integration.

    If you are starting from scratch, You will have to invest some time in learning how to equip yourself with the necessary packages and get handy in typing the basic commands. The best way of doing this would be to get hands on your project with the help of one of the templates overleaf offers (CV, formal letter, paper, book, etc.).

    Overall: For writing scientific documents, especially in the field of natural sciences, You probably won't come around LaTeX. Overleaf is just an easy browser-based method for all who don't want to install a LaTeX software on their device and/or want to stay flexible in which device they are using. I find the free plan very generous and absolutely sufficient to accomplish even a big project like a Master or PhD thesis.
