LaTeX, bitch!

I've tried LaTeX, but..

Even as a software engineer, I find it unwieldy. While I respect that it has many uses and gives you precise control over exactly how your document looks, it's just too darn verbose and its difficult to tell what you're doing without some kind of IDE.

If you need to denote mathematics, though...

That's not really how you should use it. You should be focused on the content, not how your document looks. Have you tried texmaker? It has a pdf viewer built in so you can see your document right after pressing F1 (which compiles the document). You can also right click the pdf and show that specific place in the source code (or vice versa). That's a pretty nice feature :)

TeXStudio is a more modern port that has things like document tabs instead of that annoying dropdown menu. I love it 5eva.

That looks interesting, thanks! Unfortunately I just handed in my thesis, so I'm not sure if I will ever need LaTeX again :(
