I am new to latex and I have tried both Texmaker and Kile. I prefer Kile simply because it will create latex2pdf even with warning of errors while Texmaker refused to do it.
My experiments with both Texmaker and Kile were to copy and paste text, say from an article online, then applied appropriate mark up tags.
The most common errors I saw were something like "too long" but when looking at the paragraphs where the error was pointing, I could not see what was wrong. At first, I thought the paragraph was to long, but that was not the case since some errors pointing to the paragraphs that no more than 2 sentences long.
It had to do with copy-and-paste, I suspected, but these were text. I even tried copy-and-paste from web to text editor, then copy-and-paste from text editor to either Kile or Texmaker and still see errors.
Anyway, I really liked the way the pdf files were produced from these tools. They are very professional looking. Much better than the pdf files produced from OpenOffice.org of the same text. The spacing of words and paragraphs somehow better.
Too bad, these tools can't produce pdf files with clickable hyperlinks. Or I don't know how as I am a completely new to latex.
