We have been using the Java-based XMLmind XML editor ("XXE",
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/) for several years now on various Windows
machines, and (apart from its lack of real support for right-to-left
scripts) are happy with it. The learning curve did not seem too steep.
You can get a fairly complete version of XXE for free; the "professional"
(paid) version adds a way to connect to an ftp server (we store our
documents on an svn server), and the converter (using XSL-FO) to PDF. The
latter can be set up by hand (not in the editor), if you want to see
whether it's adequate for your purposes. (We instead use a free system
called "dblatex" that converts DocBook to LaTeX and thence to PDF, but our
needs are perhaps unusual. dblatex works quite well for us.)
