Here's another resource for XML editors. It was posted to the TEI list.

======================================================================= AHDS Literature, Languages and Linguistics has recently published a new Information Paper on XML editors. http://ahds.ac.uk/creating/information-papers/xml-editors/
With a large number of XML editors now available, this Information Paper serves as an introduction to the different features XML editors can have and the extent to which these features are implemented. It also presents the result of an evaluation exercise where different user groups tried a number of the editors.
The article is based on a study by Thijs van den Broek, Benchmarking XML editors, undertaken in 2004. The evaluation includes results of the survey van den Broek undertook via the TEI website.
AHDS Literature, Languages and Linguistics is hosted by the Oxford Text Archive.

A review of XML editors has just been published by the Arts and Humanities Data Service. Please see http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/index.php#121 for info
Excellent! A much better article than the standard "Well, here's what I like, so this package is great and the rest aren't." The criteria are clearly laid out, although it would have been good to see what standard differentiated the ratings for each element considered.
I notice that, of the free tools, Emacs (and to a slightly lesser
extent, jEdit) kicked butt in features, while for usability,
OpenOffice.org (!) blew the doors off just about every other package.
The perception of barriers has a lot to do with overarching usability factors. I remember bringing up the idea of trying to better the OpenOffice.org DocBook/XML features, but it's a pretty steep learning curve to participate in that arena. Maybe if we could get the attention of some of the XML project developers, they would be willing to at least hear us out for what we need. I haven't tried the FC3.91 (FC4test2) version of OO.o, so I'm not sure what XML improvements they've made. I'm installing right now in a VMware guest to see how it looks.
