I don't want to force Emacs on you, but I would encourage you to give
it a try just for the psgml mode. The Documentation Guide explains
some of the benefits including giving you a valid list of tags at a
given location, tag completion, properly indentation, and
justification. If everyone uses the same tools, it is easier for
everyone to work on them.
If you just don't like it, maybe someone else can suggest a different
editor that will assist you at least a little more than a plain text
editor.
I've tried psgml before but never managed to force myself to get used to
Emacs brain-deadness ;-). Instead, I use Vim for XML. There are some modes
you can download for it which give you a lot of basic features (including
all of the above), or it's fairly easy to add your own support for
auto-closing tags and tag folding (which is about all I want in terms of
XML-specific support). I've also seen a fair number of people doing XML in
Kate, if you want something GUI and gvim's not your thing....
