XML­hack is a site that offers “XML devel­oper news…by and for the XML com­mu­nity”. Too bad the XML com­mu­nity doesn’t offer a com­pe­tent, schema-aware XML edi­tor for Win­dows or Mac that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I’m using XML­Spy (Win32) on a trial basis, but the cost is beyond what I can get away with given my company’s finan­cial pic­ture. IBM has Xeena, which is schema-aware, but uses an older spec­i­fi­ca­tion and barfs on newer ones. Xeena even runs on Mac OS 9, which would make it ideal. None of the other edi­tors I’ve used even come close, although XML Cook­top (Win32) is a nifty envi­ron­ment, just not schema-aware.

Any­one out there (I know this weblog is not heav­ily read) have any ideas? Win is good, Mac is also, cross-platform is even better.
