A few words about CKEditor:
CKEditor is an online rich text editor that can be embedded inside web pages. It is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor which means that the text edited in it looks as similar as possible to the results end users will see after the document gets published. It brings to the Web popular editing features found in desktop word processors such as Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org Writer. CKEditor is truly lightweight and does not require any kind of installation on the client computer.
You can learn more about CKEditor on the official CKEditor website (click the "DEMO" link). If you are looking for a package that includes a CKFinder license and a dedicated e-mail support channel, visit http://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-for-joomla
Please refer to the project homepage (hosted by joomlacode.org) to report bugs or add feature requests.

I've used CKEditor, back when it was FCKeditor, as the standalone on a regular website. It was great then and its even better now. I love this editor, its so easy to manage and to install. Great extension...Thank you for the hard work and for the best WYSIWIG editor available.
I mostly use HTML to place content on my Websites. Other people must edit the site as well that do not know HTML. This is where CK Editor does a wonderful job of giving restricted functions as an editor for the frontend. People love it.
Okay I use it from time to time and find it a joy to use. I have used all the other editors but CK Editor provides the functionality I require for the other people who edit the site, while keeping things as simple as possible.
Love it, Love It, Love it!

I've tried all the popular editors and this one is my favorite by far. Nice clean interface and does everything I want.
This is the modern JCE editor. This component is highly customizable and a perfect editor. This is truly the perfect modern editor for Joomla.
I have to say this is one of the best editors ever. It is fully featured and more user friendly than most editors.
I have been using this editor integrated to a Wiki for some time now, and I was thrilled to discover that it also exists for Joomla.
Pros: User-friendly, as many features as JCE
Cons: Lack of a "clean the messy code" function

Installing and configurating this editor was so simple.
The default skin is beautiful, but most of all this editor is intuitive to use.
And once the matching CKFinder is running, it really is a force to be reckoned with.
A joy to use.
The only downside is that it is not as popular in the Joomlasphere as some other editors, thus the lack of plugins.
But CKEditor is still my first choice for my future projects.

This is and Excellent editor! and has and spanish support THANK YOU!
Just tried the release candidate 2 on my Joomla 1.6 site, however it failed...
for info: It wasn't a total failure because most of it worked OK.
I had used TinyMCE for articles until I installed the CKrc2 and after installation, (in Admin view) all inserted pictures from before came up as an empty square with a small X in the corner (like a broken link) but the public view of the site was still OK.
I changed my editor back to TinyMCE again and it was all OK again.
That was using IE (it was similar using FireFox)
Keep up the good work, and keep on smiling... the final release can't be far away :)

I will change ckeditor baseHref path to works with default joomla editor. You always can change this settings in component configuration -> Custom configuration setting in advanced settings tab. The new settings should be less confused for new users. Thx for report this problem.
I checked diff. editors, many of them fine. But this is the best one. I experienced no hassle with install / usage whatsoever. The timing of the availability of v1.6 is just perfect. Many thanks for this gem. - Tony
At a 1st glance This editor seems to offer some nice features and a very friendly interface, but beneath the surface it destroys the source code and generates some odd things. For example infinite . I can see about 50+ of those tags inserted into my other ways very clean and neat code. Also it doesn't seem to like a background property at all and it feels it should replace it with background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; text-align: center; background-position: 50% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat;
Seriously? Why no-repeat twice? Makes it useless in FF and IE, gracefully chrome ignores the stupidity of inserting no-repeat twice.

It's a pity that you have used review to report a bug in the editor, that's not the best place to report issues with CKEditor or suggest new features that are outside of the scope of Joomla! extension
Please use the following URL to report a bug in CKEditor:
http://dev.ckeditor.com/
remember to read an instruction on howto report a bug:
http://dev.ckeditor.com/wiki/TicketSpecs
This way we'll be able to handle it properly.
In short we need a detailed set of steps to reproduce the issue (with initial HTML source, expected result) along with the editor version and your browser/OS. We've tried to reproduce the issue reported in this and previous comment without luck, so we'll not manage to fix it unless you provide some more details on it.
Thank you for taking your time to write a review and test our extension and I hope that you'll give CKEditor another chance soon ;-)
