I hate the built-in WYSWIG editor for WordPress. (EDIT: Editors of the sites I support hate it, which in turn makes more work for me. Hence, I hate it.) I know there are some alternatives out there, but I'm curious what the more functional and usable ones are?

Issues that I hear:

  • The text auto formatting either a) adds html or b) strips html. This is annoying.

  • The view within the preview section doesn't use the stylesheets of the web site itself, so it's not really WYSIWYG

  • I shouldn't say hate. I use the html editor. What I hate is that I have to support a team of people who hate the editor :p

  • More specifically what attributes about it do they hate? Replacing it with one having those same attributes would be a waste. Maybe update your question with more details?

You can use client blogging tools such as

This might get round their objections - Live Writer can definitely preview using site stylesheets
