WYSIWYG editor This module allows Drupal to replace textarea fields with the FCKeditor - a visual HTML editor, sometimes called WYSIWYG editor. This HTML text editor brings many of the powerful WYSIWYG editing functions of known desktop editors like Word to the web. It's relatively lightweight and doesn't... [More...]

Its been a thorn in my side during production, but works well for my users once every other module is set and they get all of their differences hammered out.
If that says it all :) It's big, unwieldy, can cause browser issues... but hey, sometimes you need a WYSIWYG. I much prefer the way FCK can do uploads/images/etc inline over TinyMCE. I've also had less problems with it doing screwy things. That being said, it can be a pain to configure and the documentation isn't so hot. Still.. it gets the job done!
FCKeditor is the third WYSIWYG editor that I installed on Drupal 5.7, then Drupal 6 in my quest for an editor that worked reasonably well.
The other editors worked OK until I embedded a Google Map, i.e. an iFrame, at which point they hemorrhaged.
FCKeditor is able to handle Google Maps most of the time. In fairness, I think there is a caching problem with Firefox 2.0.0.12 and FCKeditor. FCK works fine in IE7.
For all other formating including image uploads and Drupal Breaks, FCKeditor works like a charm.
On the Drupal 6.1 site, I'm using FCKeditor 2.6Beta.
It is very important to read the readme.txt and follow the directions.
A great WYSIWYG editor with a whole bunch of features. But its a rather large download on each page. So I usually keep it minimized, with the option to turn it on. This works well.
"I got this module working today and it is an excellent addition. Some time back, I tried to install FCKeditor..."
"Little raw around the edges, but what an awesome module! Absolute must if you ever want to allow non-technical..."
