"One of the best LaTeX document editor out there"
4.5/5
What do you like best about TeXnicCenter?

TeXnicCenter is in my opinion the best editor for LaTeX documents. It is very comprehensive, and integrated a plethora of tools, including for compilation and visualization of the generated documents.It works very well with the integration of BibTeX files for references. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TeXnicCenter?

What I dislike the most about it is that it is only available on windows platform. They are not developing a Mac version of it, which is really annoying.

There is also a bit of a learning curve to find all the tools, but if you are already familiar with LaTeX, that shouldn't be much of an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best regarding TeXnicCenter"
5/5
What do you like best about TeXnicCenter?

Best thing regarding TexnicCenter is there are many customization options available from where we can make presentations easily by using their package beamer. In Texnic, we can also create our own content style, our own theme by using just a simple command. Also, it is free software to use, and we can also write articles, report samples, etc., in the application for which we don't require any kind of license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TeXnicCenter?

In my opinion, there should be a function to copy anything like equation formulas from a PDF or Word document to the TexnicCenter application. This is the major con I have faced while using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very useful & powerful tool for writing complex equations, reports, articles, and presentations"
5/5
What do you like best about TeXnicCenter?

The best thing about TexnicCenter (LaTex) is that we can make presentations using its package Beamer. Many customization options available, like it allows us to create our own themes and content styles with simple commands. Very useful for writing articles, theses, reports, etc. The great thing is that such a useful software is free to use, no license required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TeXnicCenter?

One of the major cons is that we need to compile more than once to see the effect of some commands, like while writing a thesis the page numbers, list of content, list of tables, etc., can update after compiling a minimum of two times. Another is that we cannot copy equations from the PDF output to a Word document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
