In their own words
Kile
Kile is a free desktop editor for TeX and LaTeX on Linux and Windows, combining a graphical interface with interactive previews. It can compile, convert, and view documents with one click, while automatic completion for (La)TeX commands and advanced editing commands support authoring. Templates and wizards provide starting points for articles, books, letters, reports, and presentations. A structure view lists sections and lets you jump between them. Forward and inverse search connect source-editor positions with matching locations in DVI or PDF viewers. Kile groups related files into projects and supports citations and references. QuickPreview compiles a selected part of a document for faster checking of edits. The editor is based on Kate. KDE lists GPL-2.0+ licensing, Linux installation through Discover or a distribution package manager, and a Flathub link. Help is available through the Kile Handbook and a forum. Release 3.0b4 is dated 2024-03-17. The Kile plan costs nothing.
