So I ask again, is it as good as hammer world editor?

No no no.

I haven't even looked at the video and I'm 97% sure it's about po_edit, in which case you should put it out of your mind and never ever look at it again. It is a mildly good/interesting idea in concept but it falls short in so many ways if I list them I might exceed the phpBB character limit.

1) There's no lighting at all, meaning everything is fullbright and therefore ugly.
2) There is no optimization whatsoever, meaning performance is horrible except in the simplest of maps.
3) Since it's basically a prefab placer you can't do anything except the simplest puzzles and most basic brushwork and no custom entity I/O at all.

And that's just a teaser, but do you really need more? In short, learning to use Hammer will make you not only a better mapper in several games but a better computer user in general.

But again, for the reasons above, do not even touch this. Learn to use Hammer.
