I've always had problems with Joomla's builtin WYSIWYG editor - to put it simply, it sucks and doesn't work! BUT JCE is wonderful!
I installed it, thanks to Joomla that was SO easy, and off I went to write my pages. The extensions for JCE are so great and JCE has a cool plugin adder thing similiar to Joomla so its super Easy!
Great extensions are the image manager and media manager, you can upload files straight from the WYSIWYG! No more having two windows open just to upload and edit, all in ONE!
These guys are great :)

I have downloaded all the other WYSIWYIG editors and this is absolutely the best one I've used. I love it. As long as you follow the installation instructions, it is a cake-walk.
Great job guys!
Great job guys!
I have been messing around with CMS sites for a while and having to deal with shoddy editors.. JCE is the best of the best! I cannot belive how well it works.. I am pretty tough when it comes to giving feedback, but when something works this well, I have no choice I have to write something good about it..
Thanks!
Thanks!
This is by far the BEST editor available.
Compliant code output, simple to use, ease of plugin creation & updating, full admin control, it cleans up MS Word content & more.
the ONLY glitch i found was that if you have an empty tag, it deletes it, so U combat by adding a in the middle.
Awesome work, and brilliant interaction from the developer on his forum. Donate some money and promote this one, enjoy!

I haven't had too much opportunity to play around with this yet, but it looks very powerful.
Actually the main reason for writing this review was to correct the guy before me, who said that this component was no longer free. That is incorrect. The component itself is still free, however support for users is now on a subscription basis, due to the developers high cost of bandwidth, which seems fair enough to me.
The support for streaming video plus the image manager makes this a HUGE step up from TinyMCE editor. Highly recommended.
Regarding installation issues - it took me a while to get Joomla to recognise JCE as my new editor of preference. Strangely enough after I'd set it as default in global preferences, unpublished both standard editors and checked that configuration.php noted that the editor was indeed JCE, Joomla was still showing TinyMCE (even though I'd unpublished it). The only resolution was to individually go into user menu, select myself, and set default editor that way. I don't believe this is a bug on JCE's part, but rather Joomla.

Great features, no longer free(fair enough for me will cost $10-$15 dollars), stable many plug ins. Support for flash, media, wmf, animations, mpeg and format support. The only thing missing here is a spell checker. Don't look anywhere else, save your time and your money too. Works better with firefox 1.X rather than IE 6.XX.
This is indeed a well thought out editor. It is almost as good as wysiwyg pro or TMEdit (formerly HTMLArea3 XTD) however, it is still very buggy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. After installing it on several sites with mixed results, I gave up and bought the wysiwyg pro. All the aggrevation wasnt worth my time -- it was cheaper to just spend the money on something that REALLY works ALL OF THE TIME!!
There is nothing better if you are importing media -- I can show my dog how to use it in 3 minutes. Granted, he's a smart dog, but...this tool is fool-proof.
I must admit that I like JCE editor. It is the first free editor to get tables to work to my satisfaction. I love the link dialog and the image dialog.
Only one bug - It has difficulties if you use the iJoomla Magazine Component. I could not get it to work on one element - adding Editions. Workaround is to swap editors before doing it, and so it is only a minor, but irritating, thing.
Other than that it appears to do as it says..

Yea I got to agree, it rocks.
I had trouble with tiny mce as you have to load images into a media manager...then port them across. ...why?
JCE has an image manager module, a flash module and a file upload module. If you install these then users can upload their images onto the site direct. You can also disable this feature if you want to!

This editor is very flexible. i love the ability to add only the plugins i need. it's also very handy to have an easy way to add plugins, too. This is a must-have, imho.
