If the https would not redirect you to the http, it would at the very least be marginally(!) better...

I am rather amazed nobody has mentioned LyX yet. Its "what you see is what you mean". You get the pointy-clickety GUI, all the tweaking possibilities you need, and you can still simply focus on content, ignoring the jibber{jabber} until you really need the ERT (evil red text). When it's time to layout, you let LaTeX do all the work.
