Hi all,
Just wondering: what is the current king of the hill for rich text textarea editors?
Last time i checked (years ago) it was TinyMCE, is there a better option now?
Thanks a lot

Not really sure if it is possible to be definitive here, but CKEditor (formerly fckeditor) is really solid.
If you add the search terms of ckeditor and fckeditor together, it might be overtaking TinyMCE...

when you say formally, do you mean formerly?

You gotta be kidding me :-o ckeditor is so damn slow. It's certainly not something you want to use for internet application.

hard to call this the "answer" when the question is so subjective.

I'm not sure what server side platform you're using, but I've always been a big fan of the Telerik RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX. There's also one for MVC.
The ASP.NET AJAX version is far from free, but it's by far the most powerful and diverse wysiwyg editor I've ever seen. Awesome file browser, fantastic skins, customizable buttons, everything you would expect from a rich text editor.
EDIT:
I see that you actually asked for a textarea editor, which probably means that you're looking for something exclusively JavaScript. Sorry, this tool doesn't do that. It's actually an ASP.NET Control.
