Getting _POST content from rich text editor

A bit off topic but:

I have been using summernote recently as it produces (sort of) nicer HTML output. I cannot understand why so many make such a mess of it (even summernote), surely it cannot be that hard. And FCK editor has become a monstrosity - used to use but would not touch it now.
(Edit: That is entirely unfair and probably completely out of date opinion - sorry.)

Do you fancy sharing your version of an RTE? Is it standalone enough to share or tied in tightly with your CMS?

Is that a cheeky request :-o
