I'm with Jason on this, nothing touches LaTeX for beautiful formatting: résumés, mathematical equations, and foreign languages fare better in this format than all others.
An additional bonus is that it uses ASCII to represent more complex letter forms, this means that you can check your document into git and still have 'diff' do something useful. Being old != being dead. Here in Austin, Bruce Williams has written a Rails plugin for TeX-ifying Rails output (RTeX|http:// rtex.rubyforge.org/) and I have written plugins for Textmate to speed the typing of Latin characters. I think, as Jason said, the solution may be finding a more extensible editor that puts some programming intelligence into the creation of LaTeX mathematical sets. Emacs, of course, can easily be expanded to meet this need but I use Textmate + my custom additions. Investing just a little bit of time in building these programmatic interfaces will save tons of time down the line. LatinStudent, my Textmate bundle is on github at http://github.com/sgharms/latintools/tree/master.
