Unhappy What site editor do you recommend to clients?

The topic basically covers my question. I really just want to know what editors (wysiwyg's) do you recommend to clients that want to be able to make simple edits to their pages without screwing them completely up and without them having to really learn any html/css markup.

As a web host, I need to be able to make these type of recommendations to my clients as they bring a lot of preexisting sites and of course dont have control over how they are managed.

Any tips/recommendations would be appreciated. Im hoping to be able to recommend software that is $100 or less.

Default

I generally use TinyMCE. But I remove any of the functions which will allow them to mess the styling up, including things like colour, font family etc. and instead allow them to style their pages with headings, paragraphs etc., that way I can control what their content will look like via CSS.

There are lots of other WYSIWYG editors out there and many of them are just as good as TinyMCE. I recommend trying a bunch until you find one you are comfortable with.
