What is the WYSIWYG editor that best integrated with Drupal? Is it possible to browse images and nodes from it?

Hi,
I want to add a WYSIWYG editor to Drupal.
I don't know which one to choose.
I would like to be able to browse images when wanting to insert one.
And browse nodes when I want to add internal links.
Is this possible?
Thank you if you can give me some advice.

FCKEditor for Drupal
The FCKEditor for Drupal works best in my opinion. You can browse images but not internal links (as far as I can tell).
The integration is smooth and unobstrusive. Also, there are a lot of nifty features that are separate from your initial request such as having different sets of toolbars for different content types. This works well to simplify content entry.
FCKeditor and IMCE will work
FCKeditor and IMCE will work pretty well, aside from browsing nodes. Not sure there is any WYSIWYG editor which can do that... and it probably would be difficult to do well. Imagine a site with 1000s of nodes...

What is is the fastest and smallest editor but feature rich?
Try http://drupal.org/project/whizzywig which:
- Has built in Image Browser and Image Manager (no need IMCE)
- Independent module (no need additional module)
- Including any required libraries (no need to install any additional libraries)
- very very fast!
- 100% created for Drupal (use all Drupal advantage and environment)
Since Whizzywig is an independent module then very easy to fix any bugs and very easy to expand this module. Try it then you will believe the performance of Whizzywig editor!
ABOUT "INSERT NODE LINK"
-----------------------------------------
Just put your Feature Request to http://drupal.org/project/whizzywig then I will add this in next version, very2 easy for Whizzywig to provide this feature because Whizzywig is independent module and 100% Drupal oriented, so I can read any node id, even any setting very easy to provide such as: list only Published nodes, list only certain content-type, list only node with uid same as current user, etc!!!

+1 to fckeditor-- works great. You may also want to look at http://drupal.org/project/image_browser for a slick image solution. Also, see http://drupal.org/node/331329 for browsing nodes with fckeditor. Be sure to read and carefully follow the installation instructions-- it requires more steps than a regular module.

Is the WYSIWYG API module necessary to install a wysiwyg editor ?

You can use either the wysiwyg or native fckeditor modules with the fckeditor. Personally, I use the native fckeditor module, though the future is probably the wysiwyg api module when support for fckeditor is more complete.

FCKeditor integration tips
I have used both the WYSIWYG module and the fckeditor module to interface Drupal with FCKeditor.
My experience has been that once I settled on using FCKeditor, I found that I could actually do more with FCKeditor via the fckeditor module. For example, I had better control over the individual buttons, as well as the order in which I wanted to display them.
I take it one step further and also integrate the GeSHi module so I can display source code snippets. I also integrate FCKeditor with the Web File Manager. The integration is real slick and works nicely from within FCKeditor.
Instructions for how I integrated these pieces can be found at:
FCKeditor module:

- http://www.drupalwebsitecookbook.com/node/130 (demonstration of how to include source code snippets with GeSHi module. README.txt at the bottom of the page uses the GeSHi node function.
