In-site text editors - what are my options aside from TinyMCE for a MVC 2 site?

I'm curious about what my options are for in-site text editors. I'm also wondering if some play with MVC 2 better than others.

No particular editor is going to work better with MVC or not because all the editors are based on the client and the server doesn't really care about that, so it's just down to your own preference.

The only major one I see missing is the Yahoo YUI Rich Text Editor. I use it in an MVC site of mine and it works really well. I decided to use it because it has a nice clean look and feel to it and still easily customize and powerful.

You could check out the wikipedia article for online rich-text editors for a list of the more popular ones.

I looked at a bunch of them recently and decided on ckeditor for my mvc site.

http://ckeditor.com/

It was a snap to integrate and has been flawless so far.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="<%= Url.Content("~/content/js/ckeditor/ckeditor.js") %>"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="<%= Url.Content("~/content/js/ckeditor/jquery.js") %>"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#HomeIndexMessage').ckeditor({ toolbar: 'MyToolbar', 
                                                height : '350px'
                                            } );
        });
    </script>



   <% using (Html.BeginForm("EditHomeMessage", "AdminSiteSettings", FormMethod.Post, new { name = "editForm" }))
   {%> 
        <%: Html.HiddenFor(x => x.RowId) %>

        <fieldset>
            <legend>Home Page Text</legend>
                <ol>
                    <li>
                        <table>
                            <tr>
                                <td>
                                    <textArea id="HomeIndexMessage" name="HomeIndexMessage"><%=Model.HomeIndexMessage%></textArea>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
                    </li>
                </ol>
        </fieldset>

        <div class="submitform">   
            <%: Html.Button("EditHomeMessage", "Save", HtmlButtonType.Submit)%>
            <%= Html.ActionLink<ClientPortalHomeController>("Cancel", x => x.Index())%>
        </div>

    <%}%>
