Having spent literal years creating and maintaining large WYSIWYG projects based on TinyMCE and CKEditor, I can not sing the praises of the latest iteration of these editors highly enough. Between sidestepping contenteditable almost entirely and maintaining a behind the scenes source-of-truth they really have created a compelling and usable experience in all modern browsers. Something I always aimed for but always knew was another year of work away.
Tiny was actually a well written project and several of the maintainers were exceptional programmers and designers. I think they saw the way out but were never able to get there because of the sheer number of features they would have had to build parity for in order to ship something new. Not to mention the fact that 5 years ago old versions of IE would have still been in the picture.
Kudos on the project and 1.0 release.
