FCKEditor or CKEditor

The CKEditor module is looking like the way to go.  The reason that I haven't switched yet is because I'm currently using the WYSIWYG Module (which allows for multiple editors).  But, I don't forsee needing anything else.  I can't think of a reason to have TinyMCE handle Articles and CKEditor handle Blogs.

I stuck with WYSIWYG vs CKEditor also because of support for the Better Formats Module.  This is now supported by the CKEditor Module.

There is an issue with the way WYSIWYG handles CKEditor buttons.  If you don't set any buttons in the profile, then they all get displayed using CKEditor's defaults.  As soon as you pick a single button, the whole button format gets messed up.  CKEditor (independent of the WYSIWYG Module allows you to create profiles, modify formats and styles all in a very modular way.  Setting up and configuring Editor layouts and styles is something that I don't think I'll revisit frequently, so I don't have an issue keeping the config within the CKEditor files as opposed to in the database.

Integration with IMCE was also an issue.  It's been difficult to figure out the proper configuration, but I just found a great article discussing the missing piece of the puzzle here.

I also want integration with the Image/Filefield module in addition to the Insert Module and the Image Resize Filter Module.  As if my wants are not enough, I want images uploaded via the Image Module to carry their lightbox display attributes with them when they're sent to the editor via the Insert Module.

Finally, and this is the deal killer, is the ability to post code in the Editor using syntax sensitive tagging so that code is easily readable and color coded based on syntax, but still able to be copied into your copy buffer and pasted into a code editor.  It's looking like GeShi can be used for code with CKEditor.  See the article here.

This should be easier for you than for me since I've got a site full of posts with code relying on Input Formats and WYSIWYG configurations that are tied to the posts.  I have to be careful in converting so that the new setup doesn't munch on code when I try to edit anything.

Any reason TimyMCE is not being considered? I've been using it (WYSIWYG & IMCE) w/o issue on many production drupal sites.

Haven't looked into the lightbox stuff before with it though.

I'm using FCKEditor with the WYSIWYG module.  If you notice when you post, there are a bazillion editor options.  For this site, I need to be able to include code.  FCKEditor can't handle code tags because of the way it parses p and pre tags (via the editor's javascript and not server side logic - ie all FCKEditor code).  So I include multiple wysiwyg and non wysiwyg options - some of which allow for code tags.

The age old problem we had in the old SP days with code formatting correctly until you try to edit your post still exists.

One thing that I am particularly impressed with, however, about FCKEditor (and its integration with image uploading etc) is that it seems to be fairly HTML 5 compliant.  In other words, I can edit posts on my Blackberry Playbook (tablet).
