That's one reason I like TinyMCE, you can customize it to your needs so

I've got one client with a TON of admin forms with FCK all over them.
The client does *everything* in Word and then paste, and that's why we
went with FCK.

I like KTML. It is cross browser, multiple OS. The only issue for many
developers is that it requires dreamweaver to first install into your site,
but it is easily made into a custom tag after that to use without
dreamweaver at all. Their support is pretty good.
