I use vim or gvim. Not only for manpage editing, for every editing ;)

Vim check syntax on the fly, without need to press any META+$ (what's
META anyway?) And of course provides syntax highlighting as well.
BTW Does emacs mark somehow when there is \ at end of line (common
mistake '\' instead of '\ ' as last characters?

And that's the point. If you use vim or emacs you can ask for some help
here, maybe for some other editors as well, I don't know. And if you
want to use any editor that actually understands groff (like any
WYSIWYG-like thing, or something) make sure it only understands, not
think how is should be done. IOW doesn't touch anything it's not told
to.
