Advanced Link Editor
The easy to use html editor interface may have brought me in the door but the advanced link editor kept me coming back. It can be difficult and time consuming to find the exact link to a Joomla content item. JCE takes all of the hassle out with Advanced Link Editor.
The Advanced link editor allows you to browse to the item you want to link to. Once you find the item you want to link to click insert and you are done.
JCE Plugins
JCE has created a series of plugins that extend the functionality of JCE. Image captions, ??? are just a few.
It is this system of plugins that allows other to create code to plug into JCE.
About JCE
JCE or Joomla Content Editor http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/ is a replacement for one of the core Joomla WYSIWYG editors.
The JCE editor component and editor plugin are free to download and use. Some of the advanced JCE plugins are available for a $30 annual subscription. ($20 to renew)
While some might be down about having to pay for an extension I am not. I am happy to help support such a great extension. The subscription is only for the advanced feature while the base editor functionality remains free. Allowing you to try out JCE for free. If you do not like it no money spent, if you do like it then you can spend the cash for the extra features, if you need them.
How I found JCE
When I started working with Joomla my goal was to keep everything as standardized and as close to the core as possible. This meant not installing a new WYSIWYG editor. Worked pretty well for me a full time web designer. The problems arose when clients were working with their new sites. Most of the questions were about formatting of text and adding new images. So I tried out several of the other editors and quickly found that JCE was the editor for me.
