Default Mod Tool?

For all you budding moders out there, what would you think of a simple windows-based program to help in the design of mods? I could implement all facets of modding, but only if people want it enough...

Is anyone interested?

I don't think it's needed or very useful but make if u have some spare time. It could be useful if it offers some more things to mod, but i think it's not easy.

I'm writing up something like this right now. It's basically a big Excel spreadsheet/DB with VBA code, but it seems to do fairly well. I should have it up for beta testing by this weekend.

Of course it would be a GUI based program. It'll be written in Visual Basic, so it'll look like most other windows programs (pre XP, I've been working with .Net, but not enough to make it easy to make something like this).

How about I throw together like a "monster modder" or something like that, just a simple part of a whole mod program so you guys can see what I mean and tell me what you think?


EDIT
I'm gonna do spell modding, cause that will be easiest seen as it has the smallest number of options.

EDIT
Well I've done some really preliminary work at spell modding, only to find that you can't really do it. :S Oh well, this is kinda what the mod tool will look like:
