Description

Does the maintainer have an official opinion on the WYSIWYG API Project, and whether there are appropriate use cases for choosing it to implement FCKeditor over this module?

I think WYSIWYG API has some good aspects, especially for AJAX included textareas. It takes a different approach for textarea selection, as it uses the input format definitions and not the field selectors that FCKeditor uses. I think the FCKeditor module allows more precise customization of FCKeditor than WYSIWYG, although WYSIWYG contains features that FCKeditor doesn't have.

It's entirely up to the user of Drupal to determine which is best.

Thanks. This statement might be worth putting on the project page?

I have extended the text on the mainpage somewhat. I do not want to maintain a detailed feature comparison, so I kept it general.
