I'm asking the community for a favor. There are several XUL editors out there, including the ones in MozDev's XUL category. I'm wondering which ones are the best, and for what reasons.
I, of course, am used to editing XUL by hand. But I can't expect the rest of my company to do the same, so I'll need to give recommendations.
I'd personally prefer comprehensive reviews -- either in a blog or on developer.mozilla.org -- over commentary here. Also, please don't look at this as a chance to toot your own horn: if you're the author of a XUL editor, I'd prefer you review other XUL editors and not say anything about your own. Let's be fair.
(Of course, Verbosio in the future may compete in this field, but I'd personally rather have Verbosio adopt editors, plural, rather than build from scratch.)
Screenshots with detailed captions are a BIG plus.

What do you mean? Text editors with highlighting, or some kind of WYSIWYG thing? It sounds like wysiwyg. I'm starting to get into Crimson Editor now that I learned about just how many forms of highlighting it has, here's a screenshot of it with XUL highlighting loaded:

http://wiki.mozilla.org/XUL:IDE is the (a bit out of date by now) wiki page that I started before getting into solid. RJ Keller's MozCreator is actually moving closer to eclipse now, which seems to be the biggest change wrt to that page.
