[OS X TeX] LaTeX editors with truly great file organisational abilities

When I go to the page it seems to indicate its about organising "scientific wordprocessing and symbolic algebra" with a  screenshot chock-a-block with equations.I have absolutely no use of either of things: I'm writing in languages (so ctrl-G-W for omega is not easier or more convenient for me, I flip my keyboard to Greek Polytonic and then type in unicode, it's not μαγεια (mageia - sorcery) ;-)

So will Κασσιόπη (Kassiope) serve a general purpose? Or is it entirely orientated to scientific users?

It allows you to arrange and manage (smaller) documents in a higher structure. You can create chapters and then assign documents to these chapters. You can rearrange the documents and chapters via drag and drop,...

However, it has a LaTeX region feature that lets you insert LaTeX code directly into the document. The equation editor is currently keystroke-based (the most efficient approach). However, it will understand LaTeX sequences in the next version as well. So you will be able to either type \omega to get the greek character or alternatively press Ctrl-g w (<--more efficient IMHO).
