Replacement for default Visual Studio Resx editor?

Anyone has suggestion for something that's better than Visual Studio default Resource string editor? Not looking for standalone Resx editor, just something that has better navigation between strings in Grid, better support for long strings, etc.

Thanks.

The tool is still updated and is available as VS2012-2017 extension and standalone executable to support VS2010 and older.
