Best text editor for HG/SS?

What is generally considered to be the best text editor for Heart Gold and Soul Silver? Mostly I just want to edit overworld and NPC text, but being able to edit other things like the intro text and the text of the Pokemon that follows you too. I'm already aware of DS Text Editor but I'm just wondering if there's anything else.

Also, which narc files contain the game's text? So far all I know of is a/0/2/7.

Okay, so I've found that I can use SDSME (only 1.7.0 as 1.8.0 doesn't start for me) although it is incredibly slow and having to get text to fit within the dialogue box is a pain.

PPTXT doesn't seem to work with Gen 4.

I can use SDSME, but it runs very slowly and seems to constantly encounter runtime errors for seemingly no reason.

DS Text Editor runs better but cannot handle special character at all and even causes ones from the game's vanilla text to break.

Honestly this all just seems more effort than it's worth.
