I mainly use i= t for development projects, as it provides standardised keybindings for con= cepts such as project-wide search, replace and build. But the big thing for your particular use case, assuming you haven't alread= y seen it, is org-mode[2]. It is *incredible* and supports both inline and = block LaTeX. It sounds weird until you use it, but org-mode works as both a= typesetting language (typically by exporting to the more verbose LaTeX) an= d a TODO organiser. I strongly recommend reading the "compact" manual to ge= t a flavour. It is the kitchen sink within the kitchen sink. I've even used it with pandoc[3] (a universal document converter tool) to p= roduce presentations and accompanying speaker notes[4].
