I really wish there were Latex editors that would preview just the equation you're currently editing. I know macros make that tricky, but it would be a killer feature for anyone getting started with Latex.

I believe that AUCTeX [1] does essentially this in EMACS. It embeds a preview of each equation into the buffer, but I don't know whether it's smart enough to handle macros.

preview-latex (bundled with AUCTeX these days) comes pretty close to this.
