Haha, kind of. However conversion between all these formats is lossy in some directions and I don't know of any software that integrates version control of documents by default (not saying there are none).

So what's stopping you from putting your LaTeX files into a git repo and building them into a pdf when needed?

Nothing, I'd just like a nice GUI around it.

What's a good Latex editor that abstracts the formatting behind buttons and doesn't need you to learn Latex?

The closest would probably be LyX, or Overleaf.
