I don't think that Emacs+PSGML is XML editing environment for masses - I think I can say it, because I'm using it 80 % of time working with my computer. But this doesn't mean that Emacs+PSGML isn't "best tool for DocBook". I have on my machine both XMetaL and Emacs+PSGML. Typing and editing document with Emacs is for me faster and easier than using XMetaL - even with some good customizations. For me Emacs+PSGML is "best tool for DocBook". For many common users "best tool for DocBook" would be XMetaL, Epic, epcEdit or something similar. Which tool is the best depends on previous users experience and background. If you want make typing documents easier for your users you must customize editing environment - add some toolbars which will insert often used sequences of markup as templates and so on. It isn't important whather you are using some XML WYSIWYG editor or Emacs - customizations always rise productivity.
