(Reworked) best practices tend to this instead:

No, reStructuredText is text-based and there are currently no good
graphical editor for this (check the wiki [1] if you want to use one
anyway).
You should think of it as when writing HTML in the old days. Then we got
HTML editors and after a while, most of us went back to good old notepad
or other pure text editor because it just was more convenient, but this
time with syntax highlighting and autocompletion, because, well, it
helps a lot! :)
If you use Textmate, Notepad++ or PhpStorm, writing ReST is really
convenient.
