Can someone rid me of these turbulent T4 template editors?

Question

I'm using Tangible's editor and (no offense guys) it sucks. Its one painful step above notepad. But its (afaik) the only game in town.

Does anybody have any tips/tricks on creating T4 templates in a non-painful way?

For instance, I'm thinking about creating a T4 Template that essentially turns a class defined in a solution into a template generator. DTE, look for code that is marked with this or that attribute, run this or that method, and drop the results into a file. At least I'd get legit intellisense out of the deal...

T4 Toolbox (which is located on codeplex)
