"Great and intuitive tool"
What do you like best about Oxygen XML Editor?

The fact that it translates xml into easy to use tags in Author's view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor?

That you can't zoom out Dita Maps Manager and there is no button/possibility to repeat the last action. I use many repetative actions sometimes so it would be nice to use a button that just repeats the last action on a given fragment of text (e.g adjusts attribute "new").

It has so many usefull functions, can be customized to your liking (both visually and functionally). I love that the tool enables me to do so much more than other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oxygen XML Editor is Powerful Tool for Technical Writers"
What do you like best about Oxygen XML Editor?

It's ability to convert a document into multiple outputs with just a click.

The tool is DITA based to gives the ease of working along with xml.

Gives easy collaboration features.

The editor has three views: text, grid, and author. The text view seems to be the most helpful for showing where you are within the file as it highlights your position in blue and shows the overall structure of the XML file. The author view displays the individual tags well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor?

Of the three working views for the editor (text, grid, and author), I did not see much use for the grid view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Oxygen XML Editor?

It's very easy and user friendly. I am u Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor?

As far as I don't think so I ever felt any drawbacks. Even though I'm nontechnical background but still found it easy to use with my requirements and change settings. One thing I can mention is that, after opening the XML file, I need to do indents but it should be default as it's XML file and if one XML tag has a long string then it automatically inserts enter and splits long string into a multiline string which impacts on XSLT transformation.

It's the industry standard for writing structured XML content and supports most, if not all, of the major XML authoring specifications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor?

Oxygen XML Web Author and Desktop don't have 100% feature parity and there is little documentation to say what's missing from OWA Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Better than ATX (arbortext edited)"
What do you like best about Oxygen XML Editor?

It's more easy to use the elements as it appears as we right and easily customisable. Lots of add-on possibilities. Cms integration is great. Compared to arbortext epic editor it is much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oxygen XML Editor?

Even after decade the ai to identify contents from cms is not included. Still lots of automation can be done. And printing out an output is a headache. Can also add previews using DTD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
