I took a different architectural approach with my plain text editor, KeenWrite[0]. Edit the document in plain text with real-time preview, then generate the final stylized PDF using ConTeXt. In the screenshots[1], the "pdf themes" section shows a single source of truth being edited in the background with three different PDFs in the foreground: a manuscript format, a format using Baskerville, and a plain Times Roman-esque version.
This approach allows complete separation of content versus presentation, thanks to ConTeXt. (Although separating the two is possible with LaTeX, seldom does anybody do so.)

Plug: If you're an Emacs user, I've written an emacs LaTeX editing environment with automatic live rendering of LaTeX math, tables, and TikZ images. The images are rendered asynchronously using emacs-aio.
