None

Installation

Simple. Drop in the module and enable it.

Configuration

Easy would be an understatement. It's incredibly easy to configure.
Checkboxes to associate w/ specific content types. Ability to limit only to body field. Other textarea fields can be enabled by simple checkboxes as well. (this includes comments)

To add items to toolbar there's another page that has available buttons which can be dragged and dropped into place.

Usability

From a user standpoint this WYSIWYG editor is as simple as using a word processor. Even with all available buttons enabled the toolbar is easy to understand.

Clean Output

From what I have seen thus far the markup is very clean. It has an option to use XHTML instead of old school HTML which still uses degraded tags.

Handles Images

Images can be referenced through urls. So, if images are hosted on external domain you run the risk of images being deleted not appear because of privacy restrictions.

Works w/ Asset Module

Nope

Cool Features

Just really clean and really simple to use.

Plugins

None

I very much like this editor myself. It's very simple and uses jQuery which is already part of drupal core. Although I like FCKeditor in scenarios that require more extensiveness this is awesome for a very basic editor. Actually if it had inline image support I would probably use it for all my installs.
