Hello friends.
I want to hit my opinion about JCE and the new editor inside SP Rage Builder.
Several spoilers at once:
- I'm a fan of JCE
- I hate TinyMCE
- But ... the new editor is beautiful!
As a user, I was able to make sure that JCE and SP Rage Builder 5 have a number of indestructible problems. This forced me to postpone the use of SP Rage Builder 5 for a long time.
I do not think that the Joomshaper team did not correct these problems due to a bad nature. The reason for not correction is not the possibility of this. Since these applications are created by various developers and have their own unique ecosystems.
Here are the problems with JCE, which I have reported about and which are invisible at first glance, but are the most important.

Pay attention to the dates of the creation of these messages.
Applications work well together if they belong to one ecosystem, are created by one developer.
Problems with JCE forced me to move on to the use of TinyMCE (remember? I hate it). It was hard work.
Therefore, I was very pleased with the unexpected move from the JoomShaper team with the introduction of their own editor. I checked it and it is beautiful, albeit simple.
The new editor is definitely much better than Tinymce.
And may the universe forgive me, potentially, it will be better than JCE. At least inside SP Page Builder.
I doubt that someone uses absolutely all JCE options inside SP Page Builder.
Therefore, I propose to help the team draw up a roadmap to improve the editor, selecting the options that you use.
In my opinion, two important things are primarily necessary:
- Expand button
- Advanced system of working with links, like in jCE
Well, give users the choice of the editor in the general settings of SP Page Builder.
