Simple stuff: LyX. I don't know how well it imports LaTeX, but if LyX has
the features you need then it can save a lot of time.

Complex stuff: Emacs with lots of patience, fustration, wasted time and
WTFs.

I also use a DVI viewer: xdvi, or a newer one. Make a Makefile which
compiles your LaTeX document to a DVI file quickly (via an editor keybinding
if you're savvy), and then hit whatever key refreshes the view in the DVI
viewer. This saves a lot of time. I've seen other people create a PDF file
each time and re-open it in a PDF viewer, which is an incredibly slow
process.

Gulik.
