Plus I think a lot of casual people will look into editing hearing that the number 1 game is now open source.
Hopefully! I'm really hoping to bang out a clean custom UI, implement a tutorial/hand holding system for new people, and a clean up a lot of editor tags here and there first. Unfortunately I work at least 40-60 hours a week so it will probably be at least a month or more before I'd be happy (or rather, not embarrassed) with putting the source out there.
Although the Actor system still boggle the hell out of my brain so that will remain a mess :(
It's really super easy to open a SC2 map and it was how I learned; however, you are right that there aren't exactly a lot of examples to learn from. But it's also not the reason the mapping scene in a relatively stagnant state.
I will be releasing the Squadron Tower Defense source in about a month or so. It's not the most complex map, but triggers are written (more or less) cleanly and I do a lot of clever trigger and data work that I haven't encountered a whole lot. Hopefully it'll be of some help for people starting out.
EDIT: If anyone is starting out and REALLY wants it now, then send me a message.
