"almost"? ;-(

ack! personally, I think Java apps suck, and deserve a quick, silent 
death... what about native applications? on Windows a supposedly cool 
program is XML Cooktop - but in fact it sucks. May I suggest SciTE? works 
on Windows and Linux, it's not specifically a XML editor but a generic code 
editor, like ViM. Unlike ViM, it's usable. But, unlike "real" XML editors, 
it's not DTD-aware, i.e. no pretty property boxes, you have to do it the 
hard way, by hand. Good thing is that you can also use it as C/C++ editor 
(in fact, I did all my coding for ReactOS with SciTE), but it supports a 
ton of other languages as well (Ruby, Python, Pascal, Ada, Perl, OLE IDL, 
PHP, SQL, PLSQL, resource scripts, TCL, VB, etc.). Plus, no crazy memory or 
CPU requirements, a Pentium 133 with 16 MB RAM will do

check it out:

(the default config, as usual, works only for the developer. Before using 
it, read the manual, or you may miss some cool features)
