The best TeX environment I've seen is by Tom Rokicki, of Radical Eye
Software, for the Amiga.  I've seen him demonstrate it, and it is
truly amazing.  He's got it set it up so that a simple key sequence in
his editor runs TeX on the file and displays the output with a dvi
previewer.  The previewer shows each page as TeX finishes processing
it.  Since the Amiga is multitasking, he can continue editing while
TeX is running.

He also sells Metafont, and you can set it up so that whenever your
file uses a font that you don't have the .pk file for, it calls
Metafont and generates that font.  Very slick.

Tom can be contacted at rokicki@score.Stanford.EDU.
