I'd love to have a good tool for user group talks, but it's hard to do when the software can't be handed out after the talk. I can do the talk, donate my time and a few burned CDs of software as a public service, but I sure can't donate legal licensed copies.
I've looked (although I've not done a comprehensive survey recently), and there is no FOSS XML editor that even comes close to <oXygen/> in terms of functionality. It is one of the few commercial programs I use. I agree that it's a pain, if you want to demo its use and encourage others to use it, although there is a trial version you could use. But for doing industrial-strength XML/XSLT, I've found nothing else better. Kirk
