Is jWYSIWYG editor too buggy for production use?

After reading the comments on this site:

http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/jwysiwyg-jquery-inline-content-editor-plugin/

There is a bit of consensus that jWYSIWYG editor is too buggy (especially in the last few recent comments). Has anyone had experience with it in a large production site?

I haven't run a huge sample of markup through it yet, but so far it has seemed to do the job fine.

jwysiwyg has grown year-to-year development activity and community.

It hosted on GitHub more than1 year, so feel free to use, fork, patch and do pull request.

I have been using jwysiwyg (https://github.com/akzhan/jwysiwyg) for about 4 months now on several production sites and I have to say that it is the best lightweight wysiwyg editor that I have used. It is small, fast, and reliable. I strongly recommend it for anyone that doesn't need a full-featured editor. If you need to work with complex source code and html markup then this may not be for you, but for business-level users it works very well.

I am guessing that the original question and all comments until here are out-dated. This is a great plugin.

This answer may no longer reflect the current state of the project.

Checkout out the current version on https://github.com/akzhan/jwysiwyg and decide yourself.

I don't know the project but I conclude: Don't use it (at least at the moment)

  • the google code page jwysiwyg contains no documentation
  • the download also doesn't contain any
  • there are 91 open issues in the tracker (which for such a small project isn't a good indicator)
  • last commit (r33) was on the 21. September 2009
  • the second-last commit (r32) was on 21. April 2009
  • so no frequent updates to codebase either
  • no new download file (current is jwysiwyg-0.5.zip which dates from January 2009), although he made 3 commits after publishing v0.5 of which:
    • 2 contain fixes for issues
    • 1 restructures directory layout and adds a minimal example to the codebase
