IDE for XML?

[da sponge]

What IDE do you use for XML? Is VS.net sufficient or do people use something specific? One of our devs wants to get XML Spy and I'm trying to figure out whether its worth springing for or not.

XML Spy is the best IMO.

You can download a (nearly) fully functional 30-day demo at http://link.altova.com/products_ide.html

Another vote for XML Spy

I bow before the goodness that is their schema designer

XML Spy also has a Home edition that is completely free. I don't know if it'll be lacking the features you're interested in though.
