I've used epcEdit and found it to work very well. It's got a decent
interface, and I think if you're working with other writers who aren't
comfortable using Emacs/PSGML, it ought to appeal to them especially.
Dislikes:
* non-Free software
Likes:
* fast, and can handle very large documents without running into
performance problems
* full regex search-and-replace
* cross-platform (Linux, Solaris, Windows)
* WYSIWYG editing of CALS/OASIS Exchange Table Model and HTML tables
* control over character formatting during on-screen editing (but
using a non-standard stylesheet language -- not CSS)
* works with full SGML as well as XML
* support for SGML Open/OASIS catalog files
* can display railroad diagrams for any element in a DTD

* automatic population of browsable lists of valid ID values for
attributes whose type is IDREF (like DocBook's linkend and
endterm attributes)

* Unicode support
* support for drag-and-drop of text and elements
* Tcl source code for the user interface provided
Morphon also has some of those features.
