Busted.

My favorite: "I don't always test my code, but when I do, I do it in production."

Neither is better. They each offer more options that you want to enable, so you might as well choose based on aesthetics. We don't always use WYSIWYG editors, but when we do, we use CKEditor. Our clients seem to like its aesthetics better than those of TinyMCE.

I strongly suggest that you allow only the tools that are absolutely necessary, usually bold, italic, image, link, and numbered and unnumbered lists. More will only let your editors break usability and accessibility.

We use Wordpress for some of our websites.  The staff maintaining some of these sites want to use a WYSIWYG but aren't happy with Wordpress's.  I've found Wordpress plugins to make FCKEditor and TinyMCE work with it, and I'm not sure which is better, or if there are even better options.
Does anyone on this list have any recommendations for the best Wordpress plugins, or any other suggestions?  The staff does not want to learn html or css, and has been frustrated with aligning images, and they way the editor deletes "behind the scenes" code.
I want to do my best not to frustrate the staff further by installing something else that isn't as user friendly as they'd like.

Thanks in advance,
Sigrid
