Pretty slick--have to say I enjoyed the big mouse cursor coming up and editing the top paragraph, that was rather clever.
In trying the demos, it behaved rather unobtrusively and flexibly, and despite looking a little like Word's contextual ribbon it didn't make me want to set anything on fire after a few minutes. That's a first for an in-browser rich text editor.
I think it's interesting that "old" rich text editors like TinyMCE/FCKEditor tried to copy Word 2003 right down to the massive toolbars, and then barely anybody needed all that crud so it fell out of fashion in newer, slim designs (e.g., StackOverflow, Quora). Nowadays, it appears that Word 2007/2010 has finally gotten enough mindshare for the ribbon/contextual palette model that it's finally being comfortably re-implemented as a web UI widget.
