I play both edited and unedited; twinked and untwinked - depending on my mood. It's nice that Sir Tek offers to fix save games, but I doubt I will ever need this. Being able to try out different things and abilities make editors very useful to me.

I'm sure the use varies with the individual, but an editor isn't about becoming godlike to me - it's about discovering things you normally wouldn't. Some people who ran through the game early on missed an incredible amount of really good gameplay in the side quests. If "winning" is more fun to them then that's their perogative.

I like trying different things. I've started over two dozen different parties and taken about half that many through Trynton just to see how various combinations work at different levels. My "regular" party is completely unedited. Then again, Iv'e done some bizarre things like make Myles a bard and Vi a gadgeteer - just to try out the gadgets.

The only real problem with trying out different things and characters is that each time you have to go through all the early levels over and over and over again. That's where an editor becomes really useful.

Tal's is a neat, clean and useful editor. Speaking only for myself, I'm glad he took the time to make it for our use.
