Thats a good point.  If you have to think it over, the internet is
typically big enough that you can just move to the next item on the
search results list.

FCKEditor seems to have pretty much demolished a formerly decent-sized
business with respect to selling an editor as a standalone widget. 
And it looks like the guy has put together a halfway decent model
insofar as making some money off the project is concerned (i.e. if you
want a feature, sponsor it).  Too bad the current version is such a
mess.  Even the new v2.1 is a shambles.
