I think emacs is a great front-end to LaTeX on the console. OK, using
Emacs, You'll need to know LaTeX, but just take a look at the code LyX
produces! It's quite simple.
How would you show the different environments on the console? The best
I could imagine would be: show the LaTeX code, because there are too
many environments to format them uniquely on the console. And that's
exactly what Emacs does.
The problem here is, that not all people like Emacs, and that it's
quite complex to use. But if you like to work on the console... :-)
Another possibility would be framebuffers and GTK for framebuffers.
