LaTeX is a high-quality typesetting system, with features designed for the production of technical and scientific documentation. LaTeX is the de facto standard for the communication and publication of scientific documents.

TeXShop (open source cocoa project) is a very good front end for TeX and LaTeX for OS X: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html .

ITexMac (open source cocoa project) is a very good front end for TeX and LaTeX for OS X: http://itexmac.sourceforge.net/ .

TextMate also has pretty nice TeX support, using the PDFBrowserPlugin it can preview documents without leaving the application: http://macromates.com/movies/html_pdf_output.mov .
