XMLSpy was recommended to me here quite a few times. Finally, I downloaded the 30-day trial distribution and had a look.
While the user interface isn't what I'd call elegant, the system itself is pretty impressive, especially the XSLT designer.
I wonder if anyone had experience with providing end-user (and/or super users) with XSLT designer. Can this work? What are the pitfalls?

I tried an earlier version a couple of years back and found it to be buggy and lacking. My experience is most likely dated. Hopefully they've fixed the problem and added features.

I too have had a fairly good experience with XMLSpy recently, but in the context of designing schemas rather than XSLT.
Another interesting software to look at in this context, although substentially more heavy, is Microsoft BizTalk 2004, still in beta.

Rathman's complaint puzzles - XMLSpy is consistently rated the best by the industry itself. The big problem with XMLSpy is the expense. You might explore a 10x cheaper alternative called Oxygen XML.

You might explore a 10x cheaper alternative...
But both cost money... What's the closest tool you can get for free?
