The Ephox editor has been available for some time. It has 2 major downfalls:
1. It's Java Based 2. It has a separate licensing fee Both issues were deal breakers for us. I have not had a chance to look at the new Telerik editor yet. While I have no doubt it will be an improvement, I prefer being able to make customizations to the editing experience easily and I'm not sure I can do that. After you get familiar developing for RedDot, integrating a new editor isn't that much work. I went looking for editors and chose to work with TinyMCE. The other editor that came to my attention at the same time was CuteSoft's .NET editor - but I was afraid that since I didn't have access to the source code I wouldn't be able to make the changes necessary for a full integration.

Have you heard of the Ephox editor. It replace the default RedDot editor and has a word like interface. We are purchasing the editor and will be implementing soon. http://www.ephox.com/products/editlive/ Todd.
