I think there's a lot of room for improvement in LaTeX editors. For instance:
Suppose I'm reading a PDF compiled draft and spot an error in an equation. It would be fantastic if I could simply click on the equation and have a mini text box pop up with the relevant LaTeX code. After editing the LaTeX the PDF would seamlessly update.
Or suppose I see an embedded figure and want to change its dimensions. It would be great if I didn't have to guess, compile, check, guess, compile, check, guess, compile, check, etc. If I could see the result as I edit the code, or maybe even have a little GUI to click and drag to scale, that would save me tremendous amounts of time.
I would pay a monthly subscription to have a fast online version of that software.

Emacs' AUCTeX preview mode renders your equations and tables within the emacs buffer. It's not a PDF, but if I understand correctly, there are format limitations in PDF that prevent instantaneous local updates within a large document. Preview mode is fast.
