Personally, I find it's hard to beat Emacs with the AucTeX macros. If you want, you can have all the math bits converted to images and shown in the buffer alongside the text. (You can, of course, toggle the images back to the original source which, once you edit it, will be retypeset with the new math image displayed.)
