Exactly what were you looking for?  I have written several IDEs but I find
it difficult to come up with an easy to use WYSIWYG XSL editor but here are
some ideas from my stack of cool things:

1. Template creation wizard
2. Match pattern wizard
3. XSL document tree with drag-n-drop everywhere
4. XSL element property inspector
5. Before and after views in the template wizard/editors
6. Template/pattern repository for reuse
7. Late-binding of literal result to allow multiple results (HTML, XHTML,
XML, PDF, etc.)
8. Drag-and-drop XSL process configuration for multi-step translation.
9. Debugger.

Anything else?  How would you rank the ideas in terms of importance?

More like vi or emacs me thinks.  Frankly, those 'finger-happy' editors
gives me the creeps.  No offense meant to finger-happy folks.
