I was planning to use FCKEditor in my project, because an early CKEditor demo didn't have an image upload option. When I came back earlier this week, I saw it did. I downloaded it and today I went through the trouble of integrating it only to find out the only way to get an integrated image upload function was to pay $1400 for a CKFinder distribution license or build my own upload function and figure out the hooks to make it work.
So I had to chuck all that work and do new work to integrate the latest version of 2.x. All because you put a commercial plugin in the basic demo and weren't clear that to get functionality like in the demo, it would cost money.
It's nice that the old upload function will be added by December or so in 3.1, but that's no help now and doesn't make up for the hours I had to spend figuring out how to make 2.x behave like I already had 3.0 working... mostly.
You're clear about it once someone comes looking through the forums, but if you just go to the 3.0 web site and look at the snazzy demo, it's very unclear that some of the functionality in the demo requires a paid license.
Not going to say it's intentionally dishonest or deceptive, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
