GeorgeS' item editor is getting some very nice changes, so you might want to check it out again when they are complete. His current version already has a new search by item name or ID on the main screen, which I think makes it more in-line with how it really should be.
If you want to see what he is working on for it now, you can check this post:

The new single item edit window should be quite an improvement over the old way. It is looking really great so far. But, there is alot of work to be done on it, so you just need a little patience until it is more complete. At the rate he is going on it, it won't be long though!
