Best free WYSIWYG editor with image upload

We all use some form of html editor on our projects. I wanted to know which free html editor you can recommend to use which has a image upload functionality and fairly small footprint. Ckeditor ? Tinymce or something else. Thanks in advance

@RomTurk not yet. Just started playing with it recently. Haven't implemented yet on a project but will soon. So far it looks very easy to get started and seems to cover all the needs I was looking for in an editor.

since this is a client project i opted with TinyMce + filemanager. But summernote seems promising for personal projects. At least not as heavy as other options out there.

@yunusis I like a lot this work and I already knew it. I look forward to get it updated for L5.

@bestmomo I fixed the link ;)

I also updated some things in the package, I think it should work for L5 now, but haven't tried. If you want, create an issue and I'll fix it some more if needed :)

@Barryvdh I sent an issue for autoload with L5. There are others issues with ressources but I didn't go deeper for now.

@rajivseelam Yes - with elfinder you can upload the image to s3. You can set up a new s3 file driver in your laravel application and elfinder uses this driver.

All your files will be then saved to s3, rackspace, dropbox or whatever you are using.

I am using elfinder too - but with the local disk.

I think it's worth to mention Trumbowyg here, and it's slick looking too.

I use RedactorJS pretty straightforward. Only it's a paid library.
