I never really understood why the resources were put into developing Atto in the first place. TinyMCE is full featured, highly adaptable, user friendly and easily fitted into Moodle when I was first introduced to it way back when. I had a lot of fun adding new plugins and buttons and such that worked first time, every time without interfering with Moodle at all. Seriously recommend as the option of least drama that TinyMCE be used as the standard inline editor. I understand that the modal feature of TinyMCE can be turned on and off easily enough, perhaps could be configured as an optional setting, but IANAP so wouldn't really know now. But I also understand that TinyMCE is easily configured to allow the use of templates and other forms which makes it, probably, the outstanding candidate for replacing Atto. Besides, all the real development work for TinyMCE is not Moodle's responsibility, but the adaptations are, which would reduce the workload of you Devs, would it not?
