This is mostly a note for me, so move on if you’re not interested. But I’ve used Arvind’s great EnhanceEntryEditing plugin on the Cascade Winds site for quite a while and it’s really simple and has a super clean install, but I’ve wanted something more for quite a while. I’ve always liked FCKeditor, and there’s a plugin for MT that uses it. It looks a bit more complicated to install, but for a fully featured FCKeditor, it’s probably be worth it.
One of these days I’m going to get this site redesigned to use the default styles so I can use one of these great styles as a starting point (entirely CSS) and some of the handy plugins here that would require me to hack this current template to pieces.

I’ve had FCKeditor incorporated into my custom blog software for awhile… it’s not that bad, actually. I even hacked up my own filebrowser and upload forms to allow image resizing (via ImageMagick) on upload.
The editor itself is pretty solid, and is more cross-platform than most WYSIWYG editors I’ve seen… let me know if you want the image resizing stuff.
I’ve never been a big fan of wysiwyg editors for my blog entries. I like wordpress’s mix of javascript generated html and nl2br work.
Works for me.
Jon: I like FCKeditor, too, use it on several other site. MT already has built-in imageresizing using either Imagemagick or NebPBM, but I still run it through photoshop to add watermarks.
Aaron: I don’t use a WYSIWYG editor for this site, but there are many times where people would use one for other sites I work on. I actually use SharpMT to compose my entries for this site, and the only thing I allow MT to do is convert line breaks because I’m too lazy to put in <br> tags.
