The main issue with FCKEditor is that's slow and highly unreliable, as
most -if not all- dhtml editors I know of, they're nice to add nice
editing posibilities to your site, but nothin' more.
As protoeditor, well it has nothing that quanta or eclipse dosn't
already have, and they're far more complete (and the vpl editor in
quanta just makes everything easier...)
