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

This editor looks seriously impressive and I was looking forward to using it, unfortunately it seems to be incompatible with the googledocs plug in. As I use this on most pages it rules the editor out.
I've been a long-time user of JCE, but have always been on the lookout for a faster plugin.
JoomlaCK fits the bill for the most part. It's particularly fast in switching to source-view, a critical factor for me. It's extremely fully-featured and contains pretty much every necessary to produce rich content (including form building!).
However the crucial element it's missing is the ability to change the background colour of the editor. Without this, it's impossible to get a sense of how an article will actually look. The documentation says it's possible, but the parameters are missing.

Since trying a few more editors in the past, this one is really my favorite. Not just has all the stuff I need, it also looks pretty and easy to find buttons with a good distribution of them.
Good job you have done!

I was using probably all editors before. This one is not even comparable, it's just the best.
I would recommend it to my children (or... and I did... My 10 years old installed it on his site)))
As for recommendations...
Only one so far... I would give webmasters an option in parameters for Basic layout to disable "Publish on Frontpage" Yes or No option, 'cause obviously the Basic one is for authors, or publishers, and you don't want people to mess with the first page of your site.
At least, I was not able to find information on how to remove that option, or may be I do not have enough computer knowledge.
But this is just a minor...
The Editor itself works like a dream, and it takes a few seconds to install.
Oh... And it loads in milliseconds!
Thank you, guys!

I've been using this editor since the 2.x series and it was always excellent
The 3.x revamp seems to be an improvement on the previous series except for one thing: no image manager. The site states that this is done in the form of a complete rewrite of the old image manager which will be provided in the paid subscription.
Too bad. I own a couple of non-profit websites and paying ~30 euro each 6 months for an editor which is only occasionally used is a no-go for me.

The image editor is freely available to all. You can use it on all your sites, without limitaitons or cost in the 2.6 series. However, A massive amount of work has been undertaken to rebuild the image editor for the 3.0x series. This will soon be available including 6 months worth of updates and Professional Forum Support. The image editor in the (3.0x) is also 'GPL', so you can use it on all your sites for a 'one' of payment subscription for €32.00,! Now that can't be bad..?
much broader editor for layout of pages and spell check to be sure of quality pages; could add ability to add to the spell check dictionary
I was hoping to get a new and more powerfull Imagemanager and a possibility to set upload size like in the old versions. Instead it seems like the imagemanager is missing in this version. Why?

I loved JoomlaFCK 2.6.4.1, but when I tried to run JoomlaCK I could not get it to load. First, I could not install using the JoomlaCK 3.2 zip, there were errors - so I had to unzip and install from a directory. Second, I could not load the editor - all I received was a blank page with parse errors. Third, there was no information provided on the support forum. I tried multiple fixes myself and still it still would not work. I had to switch back to JoomlaFCK 2.6.4.1 (the prior version).

Hi GenkaiNashi, since we released the new 3.2 version, only four users have reported an installation problem on our fourms or an issue with the editor not loading. In every situation we have either provided a fix or worked with the user to find a positive resolve. We currntly maintain a 100% success rate with all users using the recomemded Joomla configration.
Thanks a lot.

Hi ya, thanks for the positive vote! I have used one of your extensions ‘Zaragoza Clouds’ for a client, it worked like a treat!
