It's basically makes creating and using XML a whole lot faster and makes you look like a xml genius to anyone who sees the files you have made with it.. > > **Cons**: I think it should have been called XMLAwesomerator instead of xml spy ...and I would like it better if my boss had never heard of it because then he would think I was super amazing when he saw the stuff I made with it.... > > Generally used to create class definitions for our Component Object Model project which uses XML to define behavior if its class factory... ----- ### "Great Product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *13 March 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: XMLSpy is a full featured markup language editor. I am able to work within multiple markup languages, including XSLT and easily debug my code using this product. > > **Cons**: In my opinion the cost is a little high for this product. But if you work in coding (by hand) these languages on a daily basis then it is worth it. > > I've written tens of thousands of lines of XSLT code using XMLSpy.
