I don’t want to learn one specialized IDE for every application. I use Vim and Emacs for coding in general. There are of course plugins, but they didn’t notably change the experience for me.
The speed problem is mentioned in the Beamer’s paragraph. It’s true to some extent for latex too, but becomes problematic with beamer (lots of figures with Tikz and pgfplots etc). And I have to use beamer, because the source documents are in latex.
When you consider collaborative writing, Overleaf is slow even with base latex.
If you use it heavily, you will see its issues. Part of the problem is that it’s not consistent. In Python, when I type print(“LaTeX”) the answer is always the same. In latex if I type, \hspace*{5mm} it depends on many things. This becomes specially problematic when the effect you are trying to produce is not covered by a common template; the language is not fully rule-based either so that you systematically produce it yourself. You have to try various things.
