I was wondering if you had fixed the floating point error from Qoole
99 or if it is still present
(There is a major design flaw within Qoole v0.99; it does not
calculate the rather vital floating-point values for export to .MAP
files correctly. Using virtually any non-90 degree angle on anything
other than the X-axis will result in infinitesimal offset ( rounding )
errors, and generate .MAP->.BSP compile errors ( leaks ).)

I haven't made a major revision of the geometry system of Qoole, so the floating-point errors should still be present.
However, I changed the internal format to use something XML based which doesn't perform floating-point->integer conversion when saving, so its possible the number of issues will be smaller, except when exporting. Further testing and fixing is recommended.
The main priority of wxQoole was cross-platform support, in particular Windows and Linux, then a somewhat limited extensibility to be able to use it in my own projects.
Unfortunately I haven't had time to work further in wxQoole, so don't expect a soon fixing of the problems.

Any other editors that you could suggest that are as easy to use as Qoole?

GtkRadiant, in particular his forks as NetRadiant(http://ingar.satgnu.net/gtkradiant/) , or DarkRadiant(http://darkradiant.sourceforge.net/) if you are modding Doom 3 .
In Windows you also have QuArK http://quark.sourceforge.net/
