It's really useful for what it does, however there are some ways that usability could be increased, unless they're already there and I just missed it.
1. More reward types. Because some of the more common reward types are missing, you still have to go in afterward to add a bunch of events, and if those events were needed for prerequisites, you have to create some events in the tool of a different type so that you'd have access to them to be able to make them prerequisites, but then go back and recode them manually. Even a kind of dummy event would be enough to mitigate this, so you at least don't have to fill in more information, and maybe have it insert something indicating it's a dummy evenmt so it can easily be found in the XML.
2. Option to reorganize them in the GUI. When trying to add in new events before other events, I didn't see a way to re-order them in the file or on the GUI. This isn't as important but it'd still be more convenient.
It also seems to remove comments in the code, along with the XML version detail line at the beginning of the file..
