Compare TinyMCE and CKeditor for a Wiki

Question

For a custom wiki django-wakawaka, i want to be able to add a WYSIWYG support.

TinyMCE is obviously the most popular plugin, used even by Wordpress.

But CK-editor seems more feature full.

Those who have used either of these or both, which is better and why. Are there some better packages, that I am missing?

Is there something that I am missing when I conclude CKeditor is better, by going through them (because it is not as widely used).

I want to use it with django and jquery, with multiple instances of WYSIWYG widget per page. Does one offer advantage over the other.

Answer 1

I spent some time implementing CKEditor in the last couple days. I've implemented TinyMCE in the past as well. On the positive, it's far more consistent and bug-free than TinyMCE... by which I mean, where TinyMCE "feels" buggy, CKEditor has worked around awkward browser behavior to a much greater degree, making it "feel" much more solid. On the negative, if you want to extend it, the documentation is relatively sparse. I think this is mostly because CKEditor is relatively new (its API is very different from FCKEditor), and it would be reasonable to expect the CK 3.0 documentation to reach at least the quality of the FCK 2.0 docs soon.
