In a nutshell, if you like your tools to be weak, obsolete, but nice-looking, sure, keep your money and use Pref Setter. However, if you're looking for something more powerful that is getting updates more regularly, pitch in the towel and buy PlistEditPro. For $30 USD, it's a really good buy.
I am aware that the last update for PlistEditPro was Halloween of 2009, but the developer, Brian Webster, delivered an update for another one of his applications this past November. Another feature that I failed to mention earlier is that PlistEditPro has AppleScript support. This is very useful for parsing a .plist file, except it is possible to use System Events to accomplish the same task.

If you are frequently revising plist files used in complex apps, they often contain long lists of default preferences, configuration info, etc., and PlistEdit Pro will save you a lot of time: smart row-based cut and paste, drag and drop, undo, the ability to duplicate large dictionaries and arrays (or any property list data), and intelligent search features that understand keys and values and let you restrict searching to either or both. If you do much Mac development, the time savings and convenience easily justify the inexpensive price.

Install XCode
Convert Dock's plist to xml (Text)
plutil -convert xml1 com.apple.dock.plist
And now you can open it with any editor

Even Apple's tool is more popular among developers than editing the source code.
