You don't think so? I can see that a WYSIWYG way of doing it might be, but
layouts are very much a part of the LaTeX approach and something that let
you edit layouts based more on "specification" basis might fit in - e.g.
you can define your own paragraph environments with their own vskips,
margins and whatever using a pretty interactive thing instead of devising
special runes. The main disadvantage is that sorts of tweaks that users
usually want to do (e.g. putting in their own centre-top fancy header) may
be so wide-ranging that a structured GUI approach may not cover most of
them.
