I agree...  Simpler configuration is a must.  TinyMCE is very powerful 
and it shouldn't be too hard to build some type of configuration wizard 
that combines a GUI and TS together.

Thomas Schulze has done an excellent job with his TinyRTE extension... 
I'm thinking that with a little polishing this little module could go a 
long ways.  I especially like how it separates the real TinyMCE code 
apart from the Typo3 side of things.
