I don't find it more modern. 2013 is 3 years ago :)

Any stats to prove this? :) But even if this is the case, CKEditor is not a
word processor and wiki pages are not office documents. I don't think our
users need a Microsoft Word clone.

If the community votes for this then I'm ok with that, but you should take
into account that this skin is an add-on provided by an individual (
http://ckeditor.com/users/danya.postfactum) and thus is not supported by
the CKEditor development team. I don't know how quickly the author will be
available to fix the issues we may encounter on various browsers (do you
know which browsers are supported?) and to update the skin to work with
newer versions of CKEditor. If you check the compatibility table you'll see
that at the moment we don't know for sure if it works fine with CKEditor
4.5.x which we use.

Thanks,
Marius
