Yes there are. :D I'm using Textmate at the moment. I wanted to switch to Atom but the Latex bundle is still buggy and its infancy so I'm waiting. Atom look über-awesome.
I was trying to submit a graphic to texexample ( as suggested in How can I contribute to others with examples ), but I repeatedly receive this from the contact page:

how do i add space to the top and bottom captions of a table? I'm using book class, can use whatever though (i only have to do this table). Using this post tex.stackexchange.com/questions/58674/… the top caption is spaced, but I want to space out both the top and the bottom captions.
When attempting to print references in a block, there are no reference numbers to link to the citations.

The block contents are written in a box and this box is printed in a tikz node. I couldn't build up an MWE tough. Hacking down, there is still a lot tikz-foo going on.
@Alenanno -- when one has used emacs for as long as @DavidCarlisle has (i've used it even longer, since 1979), the commands are no longer in one's conscious brain; they're in one's fingers, and switching to a different input convention (even the one for this chat) leads to too many unrecoverable errors and the need to start over after losing many minutes, even hours, of work. just not worth the effort and frustration to retrain one's fingers.

@barbarabeeton Eheh yes I understand. But for example, I've used Textmate for years (don't know since when exactly) but now I discovered another program which is free, Atom and it's completely customizable (the program look itself can be changed through CSS), so... I'll wait until its Latex bundle is good and I'll switch. Textmate is good enough for now. :D
@Alenanno you don't understand editor customisation until you've tried emacs. it's customisation language is powerful enough to write mail readers, text web browsers, symbolic algebra systems, a validating xml parser, ....
@Johannes_B because it you add \tracingmacros=1 and then ediff the files (a useful emacs feature) you find it starts to go wrong at \if@inlabel \@noparitemtrue ie the bibliography is being set at the point latex has just seen \item but hasn't yet set that item so things are held back to (eg) add a bullet point at the start of the next paragraph. the \mbox{} just gets that out of the way so the references start in the -second_ paragraph of the center not the first.
@Alenanno I've personally taken a look at Atom, Sublime, Textmate, vim, VS, etc., etc., etc.,and I can say with confidence that emacs is by far the best I've ever used. (LaTeX made me realize how interested I am in the entire authoring process -- study of editing goes hand-in-hand with that.)
That's not to say any of these editors are bad (except, of course, in the case of vim ;)), but emacs is better for every serious author's task I can think of.
I want to distinguish this idea of 'author's editor' from 'programmer's editor', though. Programming is a very specific task -- one that demands an efficient workflow -- and everyone's workflow is different. Vim happens to be very good with a terminal/multiplexer-based workflow. Some graphical editors can make XML-based languages much easier to work with. Emacs can certainly do all of these things, but there are too many things to say it's unilaterally the best tool for every job.
That is, until somebody implements it in elisp ;)
But for authoring, the project management tools available in emacs paired with the myriad of text format modes and search/navigation functionality make emacs the end-all-be-all for serious authors. (And if you think Word et al. would be better, you have another think coming: fluff.info/terrible.)
@barbarabeeton I use a database-integrated editor at work -- something Emacs will need to be taught how to do when I have the time -- so I've had to deal with those 'unrecoverable errors' many times. For whatever reason, I always go back to the beginning of the line when I save in emacs. don't ask me why -- I don't know. Unfortunately, this means C-a C-x C-s -- select all, kill, and save.
@SeanAllred -- where's the "kill"? (no C-k) by the way, fix your previous comment to take the period out of the end of the link for fluff.info -- that only yields a 404.
Am i right in thinking that `_` doesn't have to be escaped as `\_` if it's within a bib section author = {http://www.thephuketnews.com/photo/listing/1364792284\_1.jpg}, title = {Motion capture},
@SeanAllred I seem to have broke it either way at the mo :P If I escape all the underscores with `` it doesn't seem to print the bib at all, so was just wondering if this was a thing or not
@Johannes_B If I'm not mistaken, vim has a terminal emulator, so I'll just use emacs there :) I'm a developer -- knowledge of vim is effectively a prereq. Doesn't mean I have to like it :)
@baxx you're giving an image as the author? in general I'd expect it does have to be escaped except for special filed like url where the value is known to be a special and escaping can be automatic
@SeanAllred --- er, what is CUA? (admission: i use "raw" emacs, since i have to deal with too many other users who may have their keys programmed in different ways. if i tailor my keyboard permanently, my fingers get too used to it, and i end up corrupting other people's work when i have to sit down in front of their workstations to help, and that's not appreciated.)
@barbarabeeton CUA, in user experience speak, is Common User Access -- it's things like C-p for print, C-a for select-all, C-s for save, C-c for copy, etc. I also use raw emacs in that sense -- I haven't rebound any of the fundamental operations -- but I do have a lot of packages :)
I really like the idea of Emacs, about it being an environment and stuff... But I never have enough reason to change over, vim does things fine at the mo do I just carry on :P
@SeanAllred yeah totally ha, but I have UltiSnips setup, iabbrevs for typos and stuff, when I see things like the OrgMode tables and that it doesn't really give me any envy tbh.
@SeanAllred I haven't tried most of those, but I tried Atom and I'm liking it. The problem is that the Latex package is still being developed but I can wait. :D
@SeanAllred yeah baxx :) I use Vim for Python, writing LaTeX, some Processing. Project management sounds like an interesting angle, I'm not too sure how It would affect me personally. I don't really have large projects at the moment though, no more than a few dirs or so... The thing is with Yasnippet and that, UltiSnips is decent, so I'm not going to budge for another snip programme when this one does the job :)
@baxx Well then, my point is that you likely wouldn't notice the difference :) It's a net-zero topic where other points for (and against) emacs may exist.
@SeanAllred you can't use my point against me, thats cheating... Yeah I should have a play with spacemacs, I downloaded it and had a little go but there were a couple of things that I didn't know how to do and as soon as I looked around the configs I got lost and ran back to vim
@baxx XD That's to be expected :) I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have (general or specific; you know how to reach me on reddit), but don't expect it to be love-at-first-sight ;)
For now though, I've an exam to study for. At work. For work. My job is strange.
@m0nhawk I didn't notice at first; it was only when latex through up on me did I figure it out ;) — Sean AllredApr 1 '13 at 12:22
@PauloCereda Cookies for everyone! I passed my test :) Only one question was wrong and that was just because I have some sort of weird dyslexic tendency. Ah, well :)
ooooh I'm so gonna create a blog series called The adventures of the ASCII duck starring @Sean's duck powered with beamer and with a couple of dialogues. :)
Not a package, but could be packaged pretty easily: beamerduck!
The following presentation will show a progress by having a duck walk from left side of the screen to the right side, saying annoying things every once a while. You can of course replace the duck picture by any other animal (I am t...
@1010011010 I don't wrap text around figures, that's easy! Actually a project I was in charge of for the LaTeX part needed figures aside to the text, but they were mostly next to theorems, so wrapfig was out of the question.
@Iplodman To be on the serious side: I can understand wrapping normal text around an image; but a list is something else and the reader can't know whether the image refers to an item (and which one) or not.
@egreg Ardderchog! If I ask you to test prooftrees in Welsh, will you agree to that, too? (I'm not sure what good that would do me since you wouldn't know, but still.)
@egreg Did it? There is an allegedly improved version of Google Translate for Welsh but it seems to be tied to using MS Office 365. (Needless to say, I've never used it.)
