Bill,

If you like working from Windows, you can also check out DialplanPro. 
I've been using it for our few (so far) clients and our personal phone 
system.

I wrote it to be more of a swiss army knife for Asterisk.  I like to use 
the GUI "widgets"  and visual menu builder to build the basic dialplan 
menus then use the editor (basic syntax highlighting, parameter 
suggestions, etc) to write custom scripts using either traditional flat 
asterisk script or AEL2 and INCLUDE them in the final project scripts 
which can be automatically uploaded to the server.

I also use it to parse my AEL2 scripts remotely from my windows computer 
using a hook into the aelparse executable written by murph.

Its still beta, but mostly because it doesn't yet have all the features 
I want to eventually include in it.  Also, its commercial software or 
will be someday.
