I believe it sort of has had for some decades - it's called LyX:
https://www.lyx.org/ https://www.lyx.org/
LaTeX code is not edited directly by LyX, though: you need to import and export it.
- akvadrako 4y agoLyX is great – it's what I used in college for physics papers. It's been a while but I think it was just LaTeX, so I'm not sure what your second point means. Sadly it never took off. These days I would choose Jypter notebooks or markdown files with embedded LaTeX math, which also gives you instant previews.
- hdjjhhvvhga 4y ago> I always thought it was just LaTeX, so I'm not sure what your second point means. LyX uses .lyx files but is able to import and output .tex files - and the fact that you remember it as "just LaTeX" means the integration is good enough. From their Features Poll[0] page: "By a general consensus of the developers, using LaTeX as a native format of LyX is no option. Query the lyx-devel archieves for details."

- tgvaughan 4y agoLyX has the best system for entering maths into a computer that I've ever used. The combination of (a) understanding standard LaTeX (and amsmath etc) commands, (b) keeping track of grouping for me (no need to manually deal with curly braces) and (c) seeing everything appearing immediately means that I often use this over pen+paper for moderately complex derivations. Even if though I've never really used it for full LaTeX documents, for me it's worth having around just for this.
- webel0 4y agoI used to lecture with lyx. Think about trying to express how you’re solving an algebra problem. Set up a keyboard shortcut for “duplicate previous line” and you’re off to the races.
