As expected Google released AdWords Editor 5.0 yesterday.

The new features include:

  • Local business ads: View, add, and update your local business ads on the new Local Business Ads tab.
  • Export picker: Select specific campaigns and ad groups to export to CSV.
  • Save your searches: Use the 'Name this search' feature in Advanced search to save the settings for up to eight searches.
  • Draft account: Like a draft campaign, a draft account may be shared with other AdWords Editor users. To post, export the account for archiving, then import it into a non-draft account.
  • Default campaign targeting: In the Tools menu > Settings, specify a language and location for your new campaigns to target by default.
  • Find errors quickly: If your campaigns contain items with errors or warnings, you'll see splats at the top of the affected tabs.
  • Maximize work space: View more rows in the data view by minimizing the other panels, such as error descriptions or 'Review Proposed Changes.'

The folks at WebmasterWorld are praising Google for providing such a useful editor but not everyone is sharing in the praise. Both Search Engine Watch Forums and DigitalPoint Forums are not all that happy. The DigitalPoint Forums thread has a list of complaints, including:

  • It still doesn't work with PPA,
  • it still doesn't have a keyword tool,
  • it still doesn't create/view reports
  • it still doesn't allow you to change a lot of campaign settings
  • it still doesn't have a traffic estimator
  • it still doesn't support advanced budget features

In any event, when it comes to looking at what the competitors offer (i.e. adCenter and Panama), this blows them away.
