    LateX is very popular to write academic and scientific papers. It has a great support for mathematical formulas and every formatting option conceivable. I love it because it allows you to write papers using only your keyboard (no need for clicking 20 times to find the option in a menu). It’s written as code, and then compiled into whatever format you’d like to use (pdf, etc)
