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.
