Nice to see some detailed how-to's there.  Thanks for sharing this.

TinyMCE can be added to a Magento site. Magento allows for creating files in a namespace that is not overwritten by upgrades. As a developer, one is supposed to place custom theme changes in his or her custom theme. For example, custom modules should go into app/etc/modules. Custom code should go into app/code/local. Custom frontend template changes should go in app/design/frontend/default/mythemename/templates/, and so on and so forth.

Surely, if you hack the files that come with the Magento installation, you will lose your hard work during an upgrade, or spend precious time merging your changes.

I have written a step by step tutorial for adding TinyMCE to a Magento site the proper way, with all source code and explanations included. This method does not change any of the Magento files. You can see the Wiki at http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/wysiwyg/tinymce_wysiwyg_the_magento_way .

Also, this version has plenty of plugins for a feature rich button bar.

Has the Magento development team been made aware of this issue?

I did take a peek at them,

TinyMCE is very limited in it's configuration, with just a very simple and basic tool bar.  It does not appear on my first look you can easily change this. It appears that adding any plugins would be very difficult if not impossible.

the FCKeditor does have two different tool bars that you could use.

It is only available via their Magento connect. This means that any time you update you will over write anything you may have had to change.

What little configuration you can do is stored in \app\code\community\Fontis\Wysiwyg\etc\config.xml. All though it does implement a WYSIWYG editor for Magento it does not do either editor justice as far as their full potential.
