although the OE is not very easy to use because its lack of preview, I'm not so happy to see it replaced by TinyMCE! My experience with TinyMCE in a CMS is that it produced ugly scattered HTML and if the menu configuration file is too permissive about the features it provides to the end user, the user can really end up with a mess of HTML, whereas I really loved the strong purist separation between the presentation layer and the content that OE enforced. It was even one of my main criterias for choosing Ez Publish: the separation between content and presentation. With OE, a content manager can't break the underlaying CSS. With TinyMCE, be prepared to see weird results through self-made inline CSS, strange aligns, pasted Word HTML etc break your nice CSS and templates and X-HTML compliance, at least if your content manager isn't the programmer himself. I hope that the onlineiedit toolbar feature on the front-end will not also dissapear! </Pascal>
