Sharelatex changed my life in the world of LaTeX editors. With normal LaTeX I installed 10 GB of stuff, had no collaboration tools and no spellchecker, no good folder structure thing.

It's those small GUI aspects that really made me appreciate ShareLaTeX.

My MiKTeX installation is under 1 GB (MiKTeX pulls packages on-demand, so there aren't gigabytes of unused packages on your disk) and the excellent TeXstudio editor has a spell-checker enabled by default.

ShareLaTeX is excellent for collaboration, but I much prefer a local setup when that's unnecessary.

I'm running the same setup. TeXstudio is absolutely fantastic.
