One thing I use it for is to examine the widget hierarchy. 
Editres presents a tree of the widgets in your application;
you can then click on an item in the tree and editres will
place a flashing box over the widget in the app for several
seconds. Quite useful for debugging errors in placing, sizing,
or organizing the widgets on the screen. You can also do the
inverse - click on a component in your application and the
corresponding item in the editres tree gets highlighted.

You can also edit resources - select a specific component,
then you can alter the colors (fg, bg, hilights, etc), font,
font size, alignments, margins, or any other specifiable 
resource, while executing the program. A great help in
choosing what default values to use to make a better visual 
experience for your users.
