I've had a brief "play" with Jaxe - but it didn't "feel" ideal... I found the interface a bit clumsy - though maybe I could configure that better with a little effort.

There is a very large list of editors at http://www.xml.com/pub/pt/3
you can look through, as well.


I'd found that list... (which was somewhat overwhelming) then realized that the majority of editors are either commercial and/or target WYSIWYG... I've had a look into komodo, and agree that it is sensibly priced... but it looks like severe overkill. If there were to be a gentoo-portage ebuild for a tool (even if it wasn't perfrect) I would prefer that as I'd at least get get the latest version when I emerge update.

I think a significant part of my problem is that tool developers seem to all have a particular application in mind - and that application seldom seems to coincide with my ideas about neat interfaces to construct arbitrary XML data files...

Thanks for the suggestions... at least it seems I'm not overlooking "the obvious"?

Steve
