You should look into GNU TeXMacs [^0]. Its formulas (and document structure) are composed of S-Expressions that the user can edit directly. But it has a "TeX"-like UI (typing '\int' renders an integral symbol). Producing documents is an order of magnitude faster than LaTeX. And the quality is comparable.

What a terrible name! You have to read the documentation to discover the typesetting is not based on TeX, and the editor isn't Emacs.
