I am the idiot that bought 3 different editors to get exactly what I wanted on my site. So, thought it would be helpful to give this review on them. Keep in mind this is for 1.7.2
1. The alternate Site CKeditor needs to be updated, causes all kinds of errors including freezing up the buttons on upper right, they freeze, no drop down happens. No smilies and can't figure out how to add. It messes up the custom HTML widget too.
2. WYSIWYG Editor by Aron: no customizing to fit your theme, no uploading for video's, doesn't support the HTML widget. The new version has been coming since the release of 1.7.2. Has smiles though and does work for quote feature, just looks weird on any custom theme.
3. Cool CK Editor: support sucks, he's been working on the update since the release of 1.7.2. Only shows up in forum, does work on pictures, smiles, HTML. Really messes up the quote feature and HTML widget where it doesn't even let you hit the save button.
4. Wysiwyg editor - TinyMce 4 by Love Oxwall: is by far the best for 1.7.2. It has ability to change theme to match yours, the photo and video works now, the quote feature works and has smileys. He was able to fix the support for HTML widget. Only downside to this one is the width of the editor in the frame of the HTML widget; looks funky, but works. Ability to customize your buttons for your members was another huge plus. Only thing that doesn't work is the spell checker.
Kudos to Love Oxwall: support, functionality, looks good and works to custom themes. A +
