Well I've been away from EQ for a few months but am slowly getting drawn into it. Granted encounters are trivial, Loot is Trivial, exp is trivial and Sony/VI is still following the Microsucks formula of success; but this Customizable GUI feature is just what I need to teach myself XML.

So my question: What XML Editor do ya'll use? I've played around with SIDL Fiddle but it's still lacking in features to make it a completely viable option. My VB Teacher recommends XMLSpy but $500 for an untimed one machine key is well out of my starving student budget (although I do like it). I suppose I can use Notepad or Wordpad but that'll be more work then my 24 hour days allow. Anyone know of a good freeware or even better a GNU/Open Source XML editor that I can run in WinXP, Solaris ix86, or Linux? I'd prefer a Java based editor as opposed to a .NET just cuz the further away from Microsucks I get the more stable my life is.
