Emacs users can also try auctex (which includes a WYSIWG preview feature). Another option is TeXworks, available from Cygwin Ports, but the last time I tried to use it (a couple years ago) I ran into serious problems that I couldn't solve. See the thread starting at https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2012-03/msg00060.html and continuing at https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2012-04/msg00001.html I don't know if anything has changed since then.
