Try EpXL (EnergyPlus-Excel). It's basically an Excel-based alternative to both IDF Editor and EP Launch. It is convenient for editing large IDF files, as the input data is tabulated in a compact format (one row per object), and you can copy/paste and use equations in cells. It has other useful features such as automatic vetting and popup parameter descriptions (both from the EP schema), epJSON file import/export, and batch simulations (Parametric / MonteCarlo).
