I have been using the XSelerator from Marrowsoft for almost 10 years and it remains my favourite.

Free. Can be found here.

Extremely easy to use. Very strong, xslt-oriented intelisense (prompts you with the names of existing named templates when you are entering a new <xsl:call-template>), a good xml editor, a msxml3/4 debugger, one may perform transformations with many different XSLT processors just with one mouse click.

far Better compared to other free tools .. worth downloading .. There is much intellisense but need to get familiar with it, It is actually a free version of editor from EditiX which sells a pro edition for reasonable price.
personally speaking It's good ..

As already done in a comment, I hereby suggest the free Visual Studio Express editions, which are often overlooked when looking for free tools. All Express editions feature XML and XSLT Intellisense and red squiggles, and support for using a schema for Intellisense in XML. I don't know how far things like XSLT debugging go in the Express edition. I suggest the Web Developer edition, but you can install all of them on one system anyway (unlike the Borland Turbo Explorer editions). If you later need more, you can upgrade to a commercial edition without having to relearn everything. Even if you later switch to Liquid XML Studio, it's still Visual Studio.

XSL:FO is not explicitly supported, I think, but if you have a schema, you have at least Intellisense and squiggles for it.
