Why use CKEditor

Why do I want to buy a product that has NO support ? No one ever answers back and developers seem to hiding all the time.

Can any one tell me why I should suggest this to clients ?

Re: Why use CKEditor

a) purchasing support is cheap
b) it's insanely customizable
c) it includes full source code
d) it works great

I could go on...

Well I'm not willing to take the risk If I can't easily do the simple things to test first.

This forum offers virtually no support what so ever so I can only assume the the same for any support I might purchase

Er, you think the support you purchase would be on this forum?? ooookay...

Sorry you can't find anyone to do your work for you. Hope you find another free editor where the devs have a lot more spare time.

Re: Why use CKEditor

Here's what I find the biggest problem with recommending ckeditor is from a developers standpoint.

It will not allow you to enter handcoded html into the editor and either does accept things or alters them to render it useless

Forum responds is almost nill - if this is about selling support contracts then just sell the product and stop calling it open source,

can not attach your custom style sheets to use class formating in the editor

3 biggest complaints right now

As a simple dumb editor for clients that really don't care or no how or why to use css this does work just fine though.

Re: Why use CKEditor

The problem with those questions is that they have been explained in other threads, and when people keeps asking them, well, it isn't fun to keep repeating the answers and explanations (specially I'm tired of anyone that keeps asking to don't touch their source code while using a WYSIWYG editor).

Add to that the people that ask questions that shows that they have some "advanced" knowledge about CKEditor, but that can't be bothered to reply to other people with simpler questions, then personally I don't feel like spending the time to give a proper reply to their questions, I have other things to do.

Re: Why use CKEditor

Nothing is ever explained in full detail everything is always half answered if answered at all. If people keep asking the same questions then maybe it's because

1 - finding the answers you say are on here are not easy to find if at all

2- things are not explained properly or in enough detail to allow users to find it useful

Personal I think #2 is the true reason

Re: Why use CKEditor

I've answered questions on this forum and had mine answered. It's not as lively as other forums but it's definitely worth the price of admission.

If none of your questions is ever answered then either you're

1 - not using the search box, google, and source code first, and expect some stranger to do everything for you.

2 - whining, making stupid suggestions (like taking down the forums and making CKeditor closed source), threatening to leave, etc instead of asking good questions.

If you want to experience good interaction on these forums, you might want to change your approach.
