Besides which, most WYSIWYG systems run a poor second to TeX/LaTeX when

mathematicians and physicists use LaTeX. The irony is that once you
learn a few basics, LaTeX is also easier and quicker for writing those
1-page memos!

If the OP is an Emacs user, then org-mode[1] for Emacs might be a good
candidate to abstract out all the LaTeX nitty gritties. For what its
worth, I wrote my masters thesis using it.
