I´ve had problems with rich-text-editors for a while now, tested  
everyone with regards to how easy they are to customize and how clean  
is the code they generate ...

I´ve tried for about 2 months, giving up in the end (one of the  
reasons is that we don´t use dojo anymore).
still, the new Editor2 is very good (in theory) and if you have a  
good js-developer, why not play with it? one thing that turns me off  
though is that editor2 doesn´t support XHTML, so there´s a lot of  
search/replace if (for instance) you want to have <br /> ...

I don´t think that problem is easy to solve. it´s a major issue for  
the next update of fckeditor. on the forum, a lot of people complain  
about it (including myself).
e.g., when the editor is empty you are not able to control whether  
the generated html-code is using paragraphs or not (of course, you  
could prepoluate empty textareas with <p>&nbsp</p>, but that´s not  
nice). with tinymce, you can say that every "enter" results in a new  
paragraph (every "shift-enter" is a break).

I´ve been able to use my filebrowser with fckeditor within hours. I 
´ve customized the upload- and link-dialogs and everything works fine.
on the other hand, just take a look at the tinymce-configuration  
(there´s a lot you can do). I didn´t use tinymce for a project, but  
with the problem in fck mentioned above we´re about to switch.

I´d recommend testing every editor with different browsers and see  
how it works. shouldn´t take you more than a day - and maybe your  
experience is different ...
