For heavy binary mucking, I'm sure a sector-editor that knows about
files would be your best bet, but I'd like to recommend a good
solution for light editing.  I use a PD Strings program along with
CygnusEd Professional.  CED Pro isn't public domain, but it's a
bargain (it has the exact features I need, plus a zillion more, plus
it is uncrashable, plus an ARexx port).

So, if you're in the market for a good (commercial) text editor, but
want to do some binary editing every once in a while, I'd recommend
CygnusEd Pro and use the fact that it'll read a binary file (and let
you enter chars in decimal).
