I would like to suggest that the developer of BZEditWin32 port it from MFC to wxWidgets to turn it into a multiplatform application which runs on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

IIRC it's a dead project. Get to work

BZEditWin32 is not under active development, and hasn't been for years.
There is currently a graphical bzw editor under development in the GSoC, called "BZWorkbench," which will be multiplatform.

Plus, I have my own map editor I'm making called RatBZEdit. It already uses wxPython (Python port of wxWidgets), and runs on Linux, W*****s, and I believe OS X. The only problem is that it can't edit maps yet...

Well then, is it technically a map editor yet?

It can load and save maps, so sorta, I guess...I need to learn how to capture double-click events before I'll add editing though.

Learn how to text edit raw BZW code. That'll stand you in much better stead to becoming a great map maker.

Wouldn't it be easier to just make a map editor in Blender using Python?

Go for it... Let us know when it is done.

It's been done. BZWTools:

Personally, I prefer to make meshes in wings, and then manipulate them in a text editor. Besides, to do any of the
really cool stuff, you need to know how to text edit maps: Dynamic Colors, Texture Matricies, other material options, physics, teleporters, etc etc need to be text-edited.

The blender tools are probably the most complete "2.0" editing solution, but blender does have a bit of a learning curve. It is not too hard for modelers to make maps, but it seems to be rather difficult for mappers to learn how to model. There is a level of detail and knowledge that is required to use blender that most mappers have never had to worry about before.
