LyX and LaTeX not WYSIWYG editors and actually make it a point in their

I prefer to not have to worry about how the final page will look.

Have you tried kile? It's still not a replacement for most people, but if
you're reasonably proficient with LaTeX it can make editing easier. I've
been playing around with it recently and it's similar in idea to something
like quanta++.
