I'm obviously biased, and I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but with
the current iteration I would still much prefer a plain text editor.
Changing values of attributes is relatively straightforward, but the
current tree view still doesn't work very well in showing the style
structure, especially for cs:group and cs:choose elements since you have to
expand and select every node to see what's going on, and I'm having a
really hard time creating a mental map of a style by looking at the tree.
E.g., maybe I want to move the date to follow the title. I can't drag the
element in the formatted example, and it's not very intuitive which element
in the tree should be dragged, and what its destination should be.

P.S. dragging elements around in the tree only works sporadically for me. I
often drop an element but nothing happens.
