CKEditor 5 is also worth a look. They just released their first alpha version. The editor now uses a model separate from the DOM which can be used to implement support for collaborative editing. In addition to providing an extensive API, there are ready-made builds which can serve the same purpose as TinyMCE and CKEditor 4. This being CKEditor, we can probably expect support for pasting content from Word and Excel in the future. GPL/LGPL/MPL. We've just started using it in our SaaS product and have been impressed so far. https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-design/issues/181



Your note is very appreciated. I'm currently in the early stages of deciding on an editor/framework that we need to build upon for custom features. CKEditor just went up the list after looking at it.

ProseMirror was up there from recommendations from a colleague who has worked with CodeMirror as a basis for a collaborative editor before, but it needs more work for basic features.
