2007-2008: I have used XML Copy editor in classes teaching XML, TEI & XHTML and participated in the Chinese localization of the interface. Having much fewer functions than production line tools such as Oxygen actually helps beginners to get into the validate & transform routine on which much of XML-work is based. (M.Bingenheimer, May 2008)
2015: after a quick check, I believe I could use it as a lightweight tool for teaching the basics. It validates on the fly, performs completion, has syntax highlighting. It also offers simple XPath evaluation (with results copied into a separate tab). There is some rudimentary support for starting transformations, but that looks like it should be better handled separately. Piotr 17:56, 20 February 2015 (CET)

Support for TEI
In version 1.2.1.3, the "New" menu option offers the possibility of creating a "TEI document" (no further choices are possible), which results in the insertion of <!DOCTYPE TEI PUBLIC "-//TEI P5//DTD Main Document Type//EN" "tei_all.dtd"> with the basic tree of obligatory elements. Existing documents can be validated with the tei_all and tei_minimal schemas (menu: XML | Validate).
An RNG schema association for the current document has to be set upon starting the validation action for the 1st time in a session ("F6"). Schematron is not mentioned.
The editor offers element and attribute completion.
Language(s)
Support for several European languages, Cambodian and Chinese.
