Cons:
- With WordPad, if you copy from a web browser then paste it in else it'll screw up the file's format, so you have to paste into a blank NotePad first then recopy it (this strips the formatting like font, bold, etc.).
- No color coding, but you get over that pretty quick...

Pros:
- With NotePad there aren't any tricks, it's just as plain as can be.
- You can strip the stupid text file format header UIBuilder uses with NotePad.
- Free.

I imagine someone will suggest some actual xml editors, but just making sure you know stuff you already have works pretty well.

XP notepad fixed the character limit issues of previous versions, as well as adding find/replace instead of just find. It's what I use for modding (*snickers at self* modding, right) and web design.
