[TYPO3-mvc] BE module RTE usage

I already found those ViewHelpers, but both versions seem to be for FE 
plugins. Do you mean to use them as a base for an own BE view helper 
(replacing TSFE part), or can I use them directly for the BE?

Do you mean the Web->List module (where I get my RTE) or do you mean to 
let the List module do the editing while being encapsuled in my BE 
module? Actually all I want is a custom field which behaves exactly the 
same as an entry from standard content table.

Do I understand you right: The BE part of extbase is currently very 
basic (and even might change in future) and it's a better strategy to 
concentrate on other parts, like FE plugins at the moment? I could live 
with that, at least, if there is hope for a more comfortable future.

Thanks for your help,

Thomas
