Check out LyX! Not affiliated or anything, just great software that for me hits the sweetspot between Writer and hand-coding Latex. It's simple and lightweight yet powerful and easy to learn.

- redthrow 12y agoThanks! Does it have live preview? (It's not listed in the features page.) Also the UI looks really complex compared to ReText. It looks good for people who write complex documents (e.g. math textbooks) though.
- auxym 12y agoIt does not have live preview, it uses latex in the backend so you have to compile to view your changes. I have found the interface mostly intuitive myself (ymmv). It has absolutely no problem doing simple documents, quite the opposite actually, it makes it very simple. Looking at the web page, I agree it does not make this very clear. The docs come as LyX documents packaged with the software, if you feel like having a look, install it and hit help > tutorial
