Found this to be a good intro into some of the more customizable aspects of the map editor which are a bit overwhelming if going in cold.

Out of curiosity has anyone tried to actually use the editor for a real map? I was trying and it was pretty annoying. Specifically, I had SO much trouble adding water, as well as raising and lowering terrain to create land bridges.

There are people on the Team Liquid forums who have made some impressive maps already:

Best way I've found is to do everything with cliffs and ramps, and use the "view entire map" option.

there was a unit editor for starcraft 1 that could do similar things. it was really cool. made marines have protoss shields and shoot wraith lasers or make my sv's attack a touch of death that spawned broodlings.

You needed several programs to do this, DatEdit, and ICECC.
