and there I was wondering: do we actually NEED the ultra-powerful TinyMCE for simple email composition? Maybe something lighter would do just as well? For example, the standard zipped distribution of NicEdit (http://nicedit.com/) appears to be 50 times smaller than standard zipped distribution of TinyMCE. So again, do we really need all the bloat that TinyMCE has to offer?
You mean that TinyMCE actually is not so tiny...?
I would like to warn against replacing it with a different editor; the rich text editor is a pretty important component, and should be dependable, working in all browsers, and be coming from an active project. TInyMCE is a very active project, which will ensure continuity. Of course, it is not bug-free and it might be a little big, but changing to a different editor is risky and comes at a cost as well.
BTW Wordpress uses TinyMCE with a very minimal button set and monochrome buttons, if you're concerned about the looks and usability, it might be worth a look.
