You might want to try also LyX a frontend to LaTeX. The svn version of LyX
supports XeLaTeX.

With LyX, you have a MsWord-like interface to write and can export to LaTeX
for tuning the final text. It will ease the sometimes steep LaTeX learning
curve.

That is what I use to write my text and I am a medieval historian.
