Feels like a lot of wasted effort until 0.7 drops; when it does I'll probably download it, play it for a few days, and see what direction I want to take the Nomads. When I have a clear goal, I'll do the work, and in the process be motivated to fix the editor.
Just remember that this game is a work in progress, and writing tools for a game that is constantly changing is even harder than writing tools for a game that's already been released, and all of the time is donated.
