I'm a big fan of XMetal, though it's been a year and a half since I used it.

Pros: simple, easy to use, highly customizable, good WYSIWYG support (as much as any XML editor can claim to be WYSIWYG). Actually, I evaluated seveal XML editors, and this was the only one that seemed targeted at writers and that I really liked.

Cons: since then, it appears to have acquired a bit of bloat, related to .NET support. Plus, it now belongs to Corel, which makes you worry about the product's long-term viability.

As with all XML editors, it is not a complete system. You'll need additional tools to manage your document base, create your deliverables, etc.
