AJAX can't work cross-domain and into another webs folders. If I have an admin at admin.abc.com and a http://www.abc.com, but they are both webs in different folders, the FCKEditor in the admin now needs virtual folders setup to talk to the "front-end" site. You can't use full paths anymore like:
E:/wwwroot/mysite/images

Using the .NET version. Outputting the FCKEditor into a custom control into the CMS page.
Here's our kind of site structure:
admin.abc.com---- > http://www.abc.com
\------> http://www.abc.net
\------> http://www.xyz.com
\------> http://www.test.ca
One admin can admin content for multiple sites. This sites are almost always on a different web folder than the admin. In the example structure above, the FCKEditor 2.x in admin.abc.com won't work with http://www.xyz.com. AJAX can't read the files in a directory on another domain.

If your clients are using IE, the problem can be worked around through IE Zones. No solution for Firefox that I know of, its security model is pretty tight. Zones may not be the best answer for internet use though.

E:/wwwroot/site/content/images/
Can't do that with the new one.
RE: Who's bright idea was it to use AJAX in 2
I'm not really shure what you are trying to do. You are complaining about AJAX (I guess you mean XMLHttpRequest) not beeing able to request data from somewhere and just tell us about local paths. This is strange.
With a incomplete scan through the forums here I didn't find any sign that you might have investet any work in helping developing Version 2. I haven't found any sign that you have shared your bright insight when it was time to discuss the architecture of Version 2. Now you come complaining and chose an absolutely inappropriate language.
Fred is not your slave who can be bet up for not fullfilling your expectations. If FCKEditor2 doesn't fit your needs, you may use Version 1 or any other editor.
I think that you are simply trolling. Go away with that.
RE: Who's bright idea was it to use AJAX in 2
AJAX doesn't work across domains. Does this not limit FCKEditor 2.x to be:
http://admin.website.com
http://www.website.com
Apologies if I came off as being abrupt. But one thing about Open Source projects is that nobody wants to document things(nor should they, developers should not do documentation). Look at the server side documentation on the FCKEditor.com wiki site and all you see is:
[Documentation not yet available]

Everyone has its own way to show their impressions. All we can do is give a constructive response when we think it deserves, or just ignore it (ignore it... ignore it...).
Thanks cdonat for taking the cause with passion!
By the way, Ajax is a reality in these days, isn't it? Well... version 1.6 has been release exactly two years ago... should this project be tied to the past, or thing about the future (or the present!)? If someone wants features from version 1.6 in version 2... well... there is need to update, right (ohh yes... new IE and ActiveX issues... who's bright idea was it to use ActiveX in version 1?).
