Everybody is already familiar with WYSIWYG editor. Before, doing CMS projects I used to use fckeditor, and I always had a problem with its bad design and loading time.

As I first started it was around 29 Million. After a week it went to 25 million figure, it was 25,214,769 on 5th June to be specific . And today on 8th June it has 1,996,306 ranking.
