We chose to officially support 2D Toolkit out-of-the-box because it's pretty much (to us at least) the de facto 2D solution for Unity (and because it's super awesome).

U2DEX is designed to go hand-in-hand with 2D Toolkit (or Orthello, even) and deliver an even more streamlined 2D editing experience.  It integrates seamlessly, so once it's imported it "just works".  You can customize nearly everything, of course, but if you just want a solution that works out-of-the-box, this fits the bill.

It's also worth noting that you don't even have to have a 2D solution to use this.  For example, if you want your Unity Cameras to be streamlined for 2D, you can apply U2DEX to the Camera just by typing in the class name.

Questions/Comments are more than welcome, and we're eager to hear everyone's thoughts!
