These are all indispensable tools that even professors can use. I would also recommend a great tool I use from eTagLive.com it's a browser extension that lets you capture snippets of information on any website (text, images, videos) so that you can review or cite them later on, it's a great research tool.

An editor for windows that is easy to use is TexnicCenter (http://texniccenter.org) which uses MikTeX to do the TeX processing. For Macs I'd recommend TextMate for editing and Gedit with latex-plugin for Linux. It's not as easy to use as office suites, but it provides a much better result in my opinion.
