I think that LibreOffice, and specifically LibreOffice Writer, is quite good in writing essays. You can use page and paragraph styles in order to create a structured document. The documentation has more information about this, or see http://simos.info/blog/archives/651 Actually this is very important, because the proper use of styles can help you manage big documents. You can use math equations as in http://www.libreoffice.org/features/math/ so no third-party tool is required. You can manage your bibliography with Zotero (Firefox Add-on), which has a feature to export to LibreOffice.
