Actually, JCS was always a pain to work with. Could you consider following suggestions?

- Level editing should work more like RPG Maker/Stencyl/Tiled than like JCS (though you should leave JCS mode for those insane enough to keep using it). The reason being that this would make placing tiles and object easier. Go check Stencyl's level editor, with some free assets from it's library (program is free as well, though it has very... specific licensing model), that demonstrate pretty much what I have in mind.

-Easy tileset/enemy/object/animation importer. User should be able to select png file and program would break it up into tiles automatically (or animation frames).

-"Level Settings" window, with centralized settings, like tileset used, background (with ability to load and auto convert ordinary image file into background), foreground/background scrolling speed (parallax), etc.
