I also wrote my thesis in Latex. it really is the best option, not just for equations but also for automatic section numbering, bibliographies etc. etc.

One hint though: get Lyx and write it using that. It's so much less hassle than doing it as raw text.

What is Lyx? Using WinEdt has made my life much simpler than writing everything in notepad!

LyX is an attempt to put a WYSIWYG editor on top of LaTeX. I can't stand it, but YMMV.

I'd like something like that for dealing with pictures, actually. LaTeX seems to cope very badly when you have too many diagrams on a page

Why? That seems to move away from what is good about LaTeX. I do remember my brother saying that he'd used something which produced LaTeX without having to learn it for his (maths) degree, but I recall him saying 'scientific word' or somesuch.
