Are there any good non-WYSIWYM editors for Linux or esp. MAC to run LaTex on. I use WinEdt (with Miktex) on my wintel box and just installed LyX.
Emacs is what I use for LaTeX. Others use VIM, joe or any text editor; there are dozens of 'em.
Incidentally, given that I just installed tex/latex on my MAC (using i-installer) to use w/LyX, is it correct to assume that this installation would suffice in order to run any future, say non-wysiwym editors, that I might install? That is, is it true that i-install is not just a way of getting tex/latex for LyX, but also for any front-end editor you might want to use?
Editors are totally independent of any other application. You can use the same editor for LaTeX, composing e-mail, writing web pages, or programming. It's all text so the editor doesn't matter. How you mark up the text determines how another application will see and process it.
Good luck,
