As mentioned, XMLSpy is the leader, but very powerful, and quite expensive.
- A decent FREE one is Cooktop:

Works great, not a lot of enterprise features, but if you just want to have an editor with a focus on editing xml, this is a good bet.
- StylusStudio competes with XMLSpy, and offers a free trial

Very good, professional editor, cheaper than XML spy, still several hundred dollars for an enterprise-level editor.

oXygen XML http://oxygenxml.com/ is awesome.
It is packed full of features. In addition to XML editing, provides Schema editor, XSL/XSLT editor, XSLT Debugger and profiler, XQuery support, SVN Client, XML Directory and File Diff tools, etc.
oXygen can run on Windows, MAC, Linux, Unix, and has Eclipse plugins.
Licenses are cheap(especially compared to XML Spy). Student license is under $50, and the professional license is under $300.
My company provides XML Spy licenses for development. After trying out oXygen, I purchased my own license and have switched to oXygen for virtually all of my development.

it all depends how much you want your editor to do.
spy will guide you along creating an XML via the schema. It is impressive. the last version I saw was not something I would unleash on my users... but it did a nice job for the developers.
