I haven't had much of a look at the new CKEditor version but I was mightily impressed with the initial glance I had at it when he first released it. It looks like a *major* improvement on the original fckeditor. Cleaner code, more accessible and easier, cleaner ability to add plugins. If I was starting a new project that required a WYSWYG editor this would most certainly be the first on my list to evaluate.
I've spent the last couple of years wrestling with tinymce which used to be my editor of choice until I had to start writing proper plugins for it. It was an impressive offering 4-5 years ago and as a straight 'drop in' product it's still amazing, but given the leaps and bounds javascript has made in the last couple of years I simply can't recommend it anymore with a clear conscience. If you do know your way around javascript you'll find hacking tinymce to do what you want a frustrating experience. If you don't know your way around javascript then basically you won't be able to hack around under the hood of tinymce at all. The only other editor I've looked at recently that I thought I'd be interested in was wymditor (http://www.wymeditor.org/) which is a 'what you see is what you mean' editor and may not be what some people require, but it is built on jquery (which should theoretically make extending it easier) and it does look quite nicely and cleanly done. Hope some of that helps.
