Visual Studio Code with the LaTeX Workshop addon is definitely my favorite LaTeX editor. The integration with the Chktex linter, latexmk, git, and all that jazz just makes it so much easier to focus on writing.

For research management I had been using Mendeley for a while and got a bit frustrated with the way it handled bibtex. Like it got really annoying when I had papers which fell into multiple categories and/or were used in multiple papers. My new setup is to use JabRef to manage individual bibtex files for specific projects and to use Mendeley just for document management and notes.

Oh also PyCharm is extremely good.

I initially like Mendeley but ran into problems over time. I've tried half a dozen options out there and found www.paperpile.com to be my favorite.
