Looks promising! Might be an interesting additional editor candidate in Create (http://createjs.org/). Though, Create is MIT and the wysihtml5 library used by this is GPL, so the licenses are not compatible.

Currently we use Hallo (http://bergie.github.com/hallo/) by default, and Aloha Editor (http://aloha-editor.org/) with bundled integration.

ok I am excited for this. Looks great and is super clean. If you could add support for predefined styles in the drop-down along with links and simple image insertion it could handle 90% of my wysiwyg needs for projects. Of all the wysiwyg editors out there it seems that most are just too bloated and the lightweight ones are just too "ugly".

Adding links and images is next on the list. wysihtml5 supports it, I just need to update the UI

Given what I can do in notepad, this doesn't quite do it for me. Yes, notepad is not what-you-see-is-what-you-get, but it doesn't take that much to create a HTML repel and that followed by alt-tab allows me pretty much every thing I want. I am uncomfortable with 'some one else's idea of a good time' when it comes to feature selection---no ? Etc. Good idea in general, just not for me, not yet.

For a lot of users, WYSIWYG is good, especially if it really integrates with the web page you're trying to edit (not a non-styled IFRAME like in the traditional CMS editors).

I also usually write in Markdown, but the latest breed of editors is starting to be good enough that I may be able to swap. And as for , that is usually configurable in the editor setup.

Disclaimer: I'm an author of one the new editors, Hallo.

Looks very nice, but I was hoping it would work more like Google Docs:

* The styles dropdown should update to reflect the style currently under the cursor.

* Hitting tab on a list should further indent the list item.

Those were just a couple of things I immediately noticed.

Opened a ticket at wysihtml5 to reconsider their licensing: https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5/issues/22

Create (http://createjs.org/) is no where near the quality of Mercury Editor, (http://jejacks0n.github.com/mercury/) me thinks.
