Is there a map editor that actually works?

So I have tried the default Starcraft 2 map editor and have become fairly proficient. I have a lot of great ideas I would like to implement but every time I use this program it throws out random problem which have no solution, it crashes, freezes up, and mods completely destroy the map I'm working on. After days of work I find myself inevitably having to start ALL OVER from scratch again, which brings me to my question:

I have searched far and wide for an alternative but ZERO of them seem to be working. . .as in. . .they dont even open at all. I recently found SCMDraft 2, but I get an error code right out of the gate saying it cant find the game data.

Is there ANY PROGRAM that actually works or am I stuck with the default map editor?

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

ScmDraft is for Starcraft 1: Broodwar. There are a few other editors for scbw out there but they are vastly outdated and outperformed. ScmD is still in active development, so we will be able to help you run it.

However you opened saying you used the Starcraft 2 editor which would be the Galaxy Map Editor. If that's the case you posted in the wrong forum section, but no worry, I can move it.
For SC2 there's only Galaxy Edit as far as I'm aware and it's known to be a resource hog and crash often. (fitting your description)

Oh my bad. Sorry about that. That would be great thank you.

O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- below the minimap should be a thing that says "Overlay Settings" with a little + button in the corner, press the + to expand it, uncheck Use Defaults, then change "Tile Overlay" to "Height"
