I use it, or a version that runs on windows, to create the txt output.  But, no, 
it's not what I work with otherwise.  What i work with normally is a commercial 
somewhat-wysiwyg xml editor that is driven by standard xml metafiles.

There is.

My impression is that there are now a number of entirely competent xml editing 
systems.  I happen to use oXygen.

the reason xml is interesting is that it makes editing easier, not just display.
