I have tried the rest, and while this is not the best (haven't found that one yet), it is clean, easy, and quick. It works very much like the tool I once used in OS 9. I don't need the Quark Xpress of Icon tools, I just wanted a TextEdit. IT WORKS VERY WELL IN THIS MODE! Love it. I wish it did a few more things, but I am not complaining. The price is right. A few interface bugs appear from time to time, but they are visual only. Just ignore them. The final icon will still be fine.
