I've always used TeXnicCenter with MiKTeX but recently I found a TeX editor called Texmaker, which seems to feature more. I just don't know how to incorporate MiKTeX into the program. The poor documentation for Texmaker doesn't mention how to do this. Does anyone know?

Also, which TeX editors does everyone use?
