Amiga TeX can do a close approximation of this, if you have 1.5MB or more.
You can multi-task your editor, TeX, and the Previewer.  And output
from TeX can be sent to the Previewer as it comes out of TeX.  There are
some bells-and-whistles that make it feasible to look at the same
few paragraphs over and over again til you get them right, and so on.

It is fairly close to a wysiwyg TeX envirnment.
