I tried GtkRadiant for Soldier of Fortune II recently...It took a while to get used to..
My personal likes:
+Brush creation is automatic; no need to press ENTER like in VHE
+Is somewhat similar to VHE like the clip tool with the clipper
My personal dislikes:
-Brush deselection: you have to press ESC to deselect, unlike VHE where you can just click on another brush to start working on that
-Carve works the same way as VHE: messy, ugly, bound to get a leak, etc.
Well...

well, I think I may have figured out the lighting problem, wont know for a bit, the map is compiling as this entry is being written.....The thing was, my map is a model of my house, I have a basemanet in my house, so, my map has a basement.....the lights from the livingroom were somehow shining through the floor (even though they did not light the basement even in the slightest) so, I selected each wall, floor, and ceiling of the house, and tied it to the wall entity....I did this because of the ZHLT light flags, I can turn on Opaque (blocks light) and hopefully solve the problem.....we will see.....
got that in second tryJust got the new ZHLT tools, 3.2.....they are all the way hlRAD!!! 
Or you could check my example map of a gas trap 
HA! I fixed my fire, its great to....Put that burnt wall texture on the insides of the logs in the cone, and on the logs inside the cone sitting on the ground....I added a textlight, and aimed it for the burned wall texture, selected flicker A for the style, 100 for the brightness, obvioulsy the color was orange, used the flame 2 sprite, and BOOM! Kick ass fire...I might write a tutorial for it
well, My Map is starting to anger me 
Although it has angered me before....neither here nor there...This whole lights thing is getting me down....the whole cant have to many lights in one area thing blows...what was valve thinking?Thats just one of many probs....the other is, seems that I cant get one of my turret guns to shoot in the right direction, go to shoot it, and it shoots you....not good. And one other prob I am faced with now is a bonfire I tried creating, would set my map off...really would, but the sprite I used (fire) has black al around the fire, which does not look cool. let me tell yeah.
