I've done a couple of evaluations of schema editors too (not XSLT
editors) and have usually placed XML Spy first. XML Turbo is the other
one that people like. There is a sister product to Turbo, XML Canon,
that provides XML developers groupware. I have found it to be excellent
and usually recommend it for developers who want to share XML schema
components (such as elements or data types).

Hi. I recently performed an XML development tool analysis for my
company. I
reviewed almost 20 products. The winner was Excelon Stylus studio. Its
performance is far better than XML spy. then XML-to-XML mapper is almost
as
good as Biztalk's mapper.  The XSLT debugger is excellent. One of the
features we liked most about it is the XPath Intellisense, which guides
you
through the XML tree when constructing an XPATH query.   XML spy came
second
and Turbo XML third, but I couldn't stand the JAVA UI. [it flickers all
the
time]


For pure XSLT development. you must try ActiveState's Visual XSLT. It
incorporates nicely into Visual Studio .NET. It really makes XSLT look
like
any other programming language, which is hasn't thus far for lack of
proper
development tools.
