Most remarkably the JCK Editor is a free content editor for Joomla! It is free for you to use and install on any of your sites under the GPL licence!
★IPAD & IPHONE RESPONSIVE
For the first time you don’t need a special Joomla Mobile App to upload and manage your website on your iPad or on your iPhone! This is because the JCK Editor is now responsive in Joomla 3.0!
This approach suggests that design should respond to the user’s behaviour and environment based on screen size, platform and device. With the newly designed dialog screens the editor now offers support for the new IOS 6 file upload which wasn’t possible in Safari until now!
★NEXT-GENERATION GRAPHICS
We've taken the Editor to the design shop and married creative and technical disciplines into a truly beautiful and user-friendly interface. Your find it easier to use, more productive, a tool which aims to put the user in the driving seat.
★CUSTOMIZABLE INTERFACE
Everyone likes to edit their own way, so we’ve made it easier to adjust the JCK interface. Re-arrange, organize, add or remove buttons or change the colour of the skin in the editor’s parameters.
★SUPER-FAST PERFORMANCE
Fasten your seatbelt the API engine has always been fast, but this is the fastest ever! It gives the editor dramatically better performance than ever before which means, web editing will feel snappier and more responsive. It’s astonishingly 18x times faster at loading than the JCE Editor – having only a tiny memory footprint, so users can work faster and be more productive! But hey - if you don't believe us, why don't you give it a try and see how fast you can go?
★STATE-OF-THE-ART INTEGRATION
Its much more than an out-of-the-box installation of the CKeditor! We’ve been under-the-hood and joomla-ised its logic into a seamless and extendable integration. Users can now choose what plug-ins, tool-bars and shape its architecture in all sense of the word - with ease!
★LARGEST PLUGIN REPOSITORY
Plug-ins are the cornerstone of customisation, letting you personalize your editing experience. These apps can be used to quickly and simply expand the functionality of the editor and with the largest growing extension base of all Joomla editors, you'll be able - to do much more…
★MANAGE YOUR FILES IN ONE PLACE
Upload images and files, view thumbnails in one place without needing to navigate away! It doesn’t stop there as Joomla! user groups can have their own personal folders, which can be used in a verity of ways! For storing online documents, for nested folders, for relative links to media, flash, electronic documents and image files. The best part is its simplicity - it’s useful, fun, totally

Hi All... quick comment here: giving FCKeditor ANYTHING other than an 5 star EXCELLENT rating makes me shudder. ALSO: respect, though I Don't know anything about the cutting off the toolbar issue... certain sexy here - using [set to] 100% width. Having suffered thru weeks of dreamweaver [WITH css style sheet off, and other tweaks,JCE and the others... well, JCE sure is pretty and cool.. and I have found using JCE is cool..
yet, it's ALWAYS FCK that doesn't mess with code.. I've done stuff where ONLY FCK could save my head...
the REAL best fact [for me] is when I run a copy of it on my localhost server 'standalone', and if you get INTO fck it's SO available once I figured out how it works for folders and stuff. This way I can do edits like in dreamweaver WITHOUT totally contadicting the template's style sheets and overrides and stuff...
Anyways: not brilliantly said here though I wrote MAINLY cause the people who do FCK and our own fabulously on it JoomlaFCK Team should be gettin' a LOTTA pats on the back..
What would life be without fast action on updates and all for FCkeditor...?
shudder.
best wishes to ALL

I had installed this WYSIWYG Editor into my website, it is faster than the EditorPick one on this site, the JCE editor. I like it.
This mambot (now called Plugin) worked fine, just as yabba dabba mentioned, I had to adjust the "width" manually show that the toolbar will not be cut off. The default width and length is 480 and 480, I changed it to 640 and 480, then it displayed well.
maphew (April 6, 2006) maybe downloaded the wrong file. The mambot is available to download form this page but not the Homepage of FCKeditor, instead, the homepage provided the source code.

Installed fine on my remote J 1.08 dev site (IIS6; mySQL 4.0.25; php 4.3.11).
Don't Like:
1 - Lack of granularity for toolbar administration.
2 - the "width" setting in the mambot admin area is useless in that it sets the width but it cuts off the toolbars.
Do Like:
1 - Seems to leave the html code alone.
2 - Simpler text formatting options than "TinyMCE".

This is by far the best editor I've ever used. It has a lot of power, the hyperlink and upload feature make it the best. It's fast loading no problems. Only thing I want is to be able to reorder the buttons like in JCE
The way we work, I develop the pages in xhtml and then I have others maintain that do not know html. They prefer to use one of the WYSIWYG editors, but others editors kept messing with existing code - breaking rollovers etc. But not JoomlaFCK - this is an awesome editor - I am even using it!
I have try JCE, mosCE, etc. Finally found only JoomlaFCK has stable and compatible to any browser. The instalation procedure is very simple: only need one mambot/plugin. JoomlaFCK is very small and very fast.
As nathandiehl mentioned above, this is very clean editor in terms of code output. No WYSIWG editor is going to be as good as a master programmer typing it all out by hand, but this is about as close as you're going to get. That alone is worth five stars after seeing some of the horrific code spewed out by some of the other editor mambots.
While the code is clean, JoomlaFCK is still lacking in a few areas. First, the only options to customize the toolbar buttons are a 'basic', 'compact' and 'advanced'. These provide more or less buttons as stated, but the lack of individual control is frustrating. Thankfully, the editor loads quickly even with the 'advanced' setting.
JoomlaFCK is a quality editor that has some appealing features. Above all else, it has the cleanest code output I've seen in Joomla editor. Secondly, it supports skining to match your site template. Last but not least, it is fast and stable. There is an occasional resizing issue or two, but for the most part it works as intended.
It is worth noting that JoomlaFCK doesn't really have much in the way of administrative customization. It is not overly easy to define sytles, headings or the like. MOSce editor beats JoomlaFCK in this respect. None the less, FCK is an editor you should try and keep and eye out for. Hopefully with time a little extra polish will make this mambot an all-star.
4 out of 5 stars.

This editor doesn't 'edit' or 'change' html code as I've experienced with some other editors. Used in conjuction with JoomlaCE editor, I have everything I need in an editor.
