And not Radiant? There are other options outside of textile - WYM editor ... FCK editor ... it doesn't have to be markdown or textile or whatever. It can be whatever your customers are most comfortable with. Right this second I'm at a client's office on-call while they enter all their content via wymeditor and paperclipped. These folk are about as technically illiterate as you can get but they're more than happy with the system I've laid out in front of them. The only trouble I've had is when I run into some folk who think Drupal or Wordpress are the only options out there and are (reverse-)intimidated by a CMS that doesn't throw the kitchen sink at them. I know, I know - sounds ridiculous doesn't it? But when it's all they know then the other solutions look odd/strange. Just my 2 cents. - Joel
