I felt the same way until I started doing graphics in markup. 
Then I saw the value of editors that render on the fly.  
IMO, the value of the editor is proportional 
to the complexity or obscurity of what is inside the tags.
Indexed Face Sets are really hard on the wrists.  I've seen 
it done that way though (Dennis McKenzie - IrishSpace Mars Colony).

That said, I will never give up PFE and a validation tool 
such as Topologi. For the quick and essential, nothing comes close.

In almost ten years of writing structured documents with markup, I
have found exactly one structured editor that I could stand. That was
Arbortext's Epic and even with that product, I almost always edited in
"tags on" mode.

The notion that editing XML with a text editor is "unusual" is just
laughable. At least it makes me laugh.
