[Asterisk-doc] Preferred editors for DocBook format

[jim at digitalchemy.ca]

We have NOT hijacked the thread. We're discussing tools we'd use for the doc 
project. The DocBook format deserves to be discussed in this thread, as well as 
tools people use to improve the experience. Its not as if we're talking about the 
price of turnips in Afghanistan. I even changed the subject so we're not 
misrepresenting ourselves!

UltraEdit is awesome. And who can argue that vi is a key differentiator between the 
über geeks and script kiddies.

The problem I have with reading the raw XML is that my right brain keeps asking 
"but what does it LOOK like?". Sure, I understand the whole "separate the content 
from the style" argument, and so (presumably) does my left brain. But my right 
brain still says "then what's it GONNA look like!?!" (guys who are married 
understand the vital importance of listening to the right brain).

So, hoping that I'm a holistic thinker, I gotta have a WYSIASOWYCG (What You 
See Is A Sample Of What You Can Get).

If I keep the whole brain happy, my head doesn't tend to sit as skewed on my neck.
