Bug 497871 provided an extensible text editor. I suggest to make it the new default.
-1 for that, but I'm fine to hook it to those content types for which we already have an extension for the generic editor.

There are things like the word completion which makes for way better user experience in cases where there is no specialized editor.

The standard text editor should be the simple text editor that has no side-effects. > There are things like the word completion which > makes for way better user experience in cases where there is no specialized > editor. Can you explain what you mean? To my knowledge the Text Editor has spell checking enabled by default, allowing to use Ctrl+1 to fix/complete words. This is not the case with the Generic Editor.

See bug 514397 for details for word completion. If spell checking is the deal breaker, it can be added to generic editor too.
