+1 lyx
"LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on 
the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM), and not simply their appearance 
(WYSIWYG)."

it does not instantly do a TeX render, but it gives you an idea of what the 
document will look like while writing (it hides most of the tags and gives a 
rendering of what they do, _similar_ to a WYSIWYG editor), and you can do a 
full render when you need to know exactly what it will look like.

And full La|Tex (AKA ERT in lyx speak) can be put in _as_needed_ (which is not 
often for most of us) for more control.

The users list can be of moderate volume, but very helpful:

And IIRC you can `yum install lyx` to get it with fedora.
