No doubt?  Cough, cough.

Take a look at Emacs <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs> with
RefTeX <URL:http://zon.astro.uva.nl/~dominik/Tools/reftex/>, AUCTeX
<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex>, preview-latex
<URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net> and x-symbol
<URL:http://x-symbol.sourceforge.net> and say that again, trying to
keep a straight face.

And this combination works not only with KDE, but with all Linux
desktops, actually all Unix-like systems using X11, with MS-Windows,
and currently the MacOSX Carbon port of Emacs is brought to work with
preview-latex as well (the X11 port, of course, has no problems
anyway).

At very least the inline previews should be implemented if Kile wants
to claim being "most advanced", and the cross-referencing facilities
of RefTeX are definitely also something to die for.  LyX at least has
implemented preview functionality for math, although it does not
count as an editor.
