You're right about that Justin. Remove some of the features! In fact I spent probably three quarters of my development time on the one I use now (and have to insist users only use IE - I hate that!) on disabling stuff. I want to have my users able to produce nice looking content, but within the parameters of the site design and standards. I don't want them able to use font tags, I don't want them PUTTING EVERYTHING IN CAPS COS ITS BETTER THAT WAY!! (no it isn't!) or changing colours every word, or putting text in gigantic size because they think it'll stand out against the other content. I want them to use only the features I want them to.
I found a guy who makes one for ColdFusion only that has a very restricted list of features, and it looks very promising however he has a lot more work to do on making it function properly. But his approach is good. It's small in file size, loads fast, and doesn't have dozens of graphics that have to download like FCKEditor does. When he polishes it up and makes it cross-browser compatible it's going to do me fine.
