Default Best WYSIWYG editor for dummies

What in your opinion is a good editor for "dummies" im developing a CMS specific for hotel users - there is a lot of tools in it specific for the hotel trade.

After the upcoming release I will be concentrating on improving the content editor i recently integrated FCKEditor which i like but it really ist the best when it comes to browsing for files inserting links etc, i have integrated an image editor but I know most people just wont "get" it.

WHat in your opinion is the most user friendly system

Default

YUI's -> YUI Library Examples: Rich Text Editor (beta): Default Toolbar Config
Works in Safari. Some of the other more popular editors don't play well with Safari. TinyMCE for one anyway.

Will they be typing in text or are they likely to be pasting in word documents?

Default Xinha

for uploading and managing documents and images I find Xinha good
some of the plugins are a bit buggy but still a good editor.

They do like their pasting from word but i have defaulted the paste to past as text and using the paste from word option.

Ill check out some of the others mentioned above - i tried using YUI features on another project - but couldnt get the library under 500K - is this the case or was i missing something? - sees very big for usign only some of the features..
