This web-based free tool is very good for sequence aligments. A bit easy, but for the purpose is very good. I've used it many times. Just add your sequences in FASTA format under each other then click on "Submit" button.
I have been using bioedit but I think I need a better one. I wanted something that functions similar to what bioedit does (I wanted to use control+F function within the software.). Bioedit has clustalW, I wanted to know how other modifications are more helpful. I will try to see what you have mentioned. So helpful.
