I like being able to edit XML directly, however the abilities included in the Mission editor make the entire process much faster. It would be neat if you could merge the two applications. One suggestion I have is a map-editor that runs in the same window. I believe using a tool like the Mission Editor that will allow users to view the auto-populated XML as events are created would help increase user knowledge of the entire scripting process. Interface suggestion for the combination:
.--------------------------------------------------.
|Menu Menu Menus |
|--------------------------------------------------|
| | | |
| | | MAP Editor |
| M.E. | | |
| Interface | XML | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | |------------------|
| | | Other Tools? |
| | | validate, copy, |
| | | templates, etc. |
'--------------------------------------------------'
