Does anyone know if they will be incorporating World Builder as they did in the previous Civs? i.e. allowing players to edit in the middle of games (single player of course)?

I often felt stupid using the World Builder to make "little changes" like a river, a coal ressource, a couple of great enginners...
Honnestly, the World Builder feature is a massive cheat machine I can't resist to use.
It remains a very interesting tool to experiment situations, or make lovely pics for the modders.
I suggest an option at the very beginning of the game "World builder on/off". If on, no score and no victory allowed

Yes, this is what I wanted to say. We should be allowed to have this as an option.

I only used to world builder to give myself a bunch of nuclear bombs to nuke whatever civ was responsible for me having to start a new game. 
Then I started a new game as I won't play a cheated map.

God of the mechanics
Ok, so no In-Game World Builder, but where to find it in the game. I save a map, want to modify a little bit, before replay the game. But cannot find the world builder in my folder.
Thanks

Exactly. Why shouldn't we have the option to experiment?
The Civ V worldbuilder actually seems really excellent. Yeah, you can't use it from within the game, but that actually was never what it was intended for really, was it? If you have a random map in the game that you really like and want to change, choose the "save map" option, then call it up in the worldbuilder and do whatever you want with it. You can even design a scenario there to essentially recreate the game you were playing.

Let's try to get consensus for in-game use...
there's an equivalent "in game" world builder. It's not as easily accessible as Civ4 but it's fairly comprehensive as far as I can tell.
I used it to create situation to see how unit maintenance cost was calculated, you can give any player any tech, any set of tech (advance an age), all techs, units, terrain, resource, culture, gold, anything really.
install the SDK package and launch it separately from your civ 5 game.

Thanks for the post, I am very interested in this. Sorry but I am quite the tech challenged person.
1) Where do we download the SDK package (via Steam?)
2) Once it is downloaded / installed, do you launch the game first and then the SDK package
3) If so, how do you do this? Do you go through the menu options? Could you be more specific?
Many thanks in advance!
Follow the direction above my post to install SDK then

so firetuner is enabled. Launch firetuner, launch civ5, load a saved game, you're all set.
Warning, I've only used firetuner to create testing situation to try to figure out maintenance formula so far. Someone posted after using firetuner, his game turned weird, with citystate killing its own units, etc.
I do not know if that's true or not since I only use firetuner to setup testing situation, never used it in an actual game.
