At the moment it's obviously rtehtmlarea !

Stanislas was very close in the applauses to Ruppi in the unsung heroes

FCK seems also popular on sourceforge.net but the work of Stanislas is 
more mature then anything else...

Have a look at the newsgroup!

BTW, Stanislas is also located in Province of Québec which is also a 
good sign.  ;)
