I use TinyMCE for a couple of sites, and although the clients seem to
like it, I find that the code TinyMCE outputs is really really bad. I
only tried FCK editor (http://www.fckeditor.net/demo), but ended up
using TinyMCE because it was easier to upload images into the text
editor (with IMCE). A few weeks ago we where discussing this in IRC,
and a lot of developers told me that the code produced by the YUI
Rich Text Editor was a lot better than the other options.
