Text based workout editor
Manually clicking to build structured workouts can be a bit annoying. It would be much easier if we could simply copy-paste text-based workout steps, similar to what’s possible with the www.zwiftworkout.com/editor tool.
Even better, the TrainingPeaks workout details already look like they could support this functionality—if only there were a edit-text button.
Examples from www.zwiftworkout.com/editor
Steady block
steady 3.0wkg 30s
steady 120w 10m 85rpm
Warmup / Cooldown / Ramp block
warmup 2.0wkg-3.5wkg 10m
cooldown 180w-100w 5m 110rpm
Intervals

interval 3x 1:00m-5:00m 300w-180w
Free Ride

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
As another person has already commented, ZWO files are just text files, and so can already be edited in any text editor (e.g. Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac). Just open them up using your editor of choice, and it's very easy to change any of the parameters you want to whatever values you want.

for creating Workouts I need a visual tool like zwofactory.

ZWO files are just text files. You can create and edit them with any text editor. They can now (from 0.4.7) be imported into your TrainingPeaks workout library. You only need to study a few existing ZWO workouts to get a handle on how they work.
