Comment (by azaozz):

 This is an interesting project and the patches look good. Although I don't
 think it only needs "some refactoring". IMHO it needs full rewriting.

 For example it would be nice to have init options similar to the way
 TinyMCE works, i.e. an init object that overrides the internal defaults:
 instances can be added to several textareas by ID (or even CSS class),
 buttons can be enabled|disabled|rearranged, the toolbar can start hidden,
 etc. Also a clear documented API for extending the editor (well, adding
 buttons), maybe build-in resizing of the textareas, some basic CSS
 overrides from the JS like font and background color, font face, line
 spacing, etc.

 I'm even debating the possibility of just adding this functionality into a
 TinyMCE plugin for the main WP editor and keeping quicktags.js for places
 where we need limited HTML code.
