[wp-hackers] [GSoC] Inline editing idea

Wed Feb 26 19:24:45 UTC 2014

TinyMCE is used is because that's what core uses. Using a different editor would mean changing a lot of code, used for both the front- and back-end editor, that assumes TinyMCE. You can't just replace TinyMCE with another editor without breaking things.
The design of your editor is not really a good argument, it gets changed anyway. :)

First of all it’s lightweight and it offers all basic functionality that TinyMCE comes with too, but in addition it’s the first editor that supports image resize on mobile devices. Also, you can’t ignore the nice flat design from inline mode.

It's always good to look at other approaches. It would just be better to have only one project with good discussions and communication, even if that means creating more than one plugin or branch.
