Most widely-used Drupal rich text editor plugin? [closed]

Question

I'm looking to set up a JS WYSIWYG editor for my clients' Drupal site.

What is the most popular Drupal plugin for this, that also supports uploading images through the editor? I'm new to Drupal so I don't know if there's a de facto standard or not, and Drupal's plugin browser isn't very helpful for gauging which one is best.

I will be testing CKEditor today.

I have looked into using TinyMCE but some of the features seem to be pay-only; which at this point is not un-acceptable but if a free alternative works better I'd rather use it.

(SO's rules prevent questions about 'favorite' or 'opinion' but 'most popular' is a numeric quantity! mad scientist laugh)

Answer 1

Drupal uses a "catchall" module called "WYSIWYG": http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg this module allows you to install any and ALL of the most popular WYSIWYG editors and use one or all of them at the same time.

Many of the top ones, TinyMCE and CKEditor also work with the Media module which allows you to insert and update media in your WYSIWYG http://drupal.org/project/Media

It's really awesome because you can actually configure it so the users chooses their favorite WYSIWYG, or you can set certain fields to use different WYSIWYG editors. The WYSIWYG module has a TON of customizations.

I've used CKEditor with the Media Module and WYSIWYG module successfully.
