@JLeuze - I agree, the Visual editor is still a weakness but as Jess mentions, it's gotten better over time.

@Jess Planck - Jess, thank you for the wonderful and insightful reply. I drank a can of Mountain Dew reading it :). You are right about the Ideas section needing a cleanup. In fact it wasn't too long ago when I wrote an article highlighting the fact that Porn Ideas were being published on the site. I certainly would be interested to see what would happen to the Ideas site if it was cleaned up. Would these visual editor issues creep back to number one or would something else take its spot?

I know that TinyMCE is actually a project outside of WordPress and the team just takes it and manhandles it to work with WordPress in their specified way. I know their are complexities involved but it's hard for me to understand sometimes how certain things work in the Visual editor such as, blockquoting something, pressing enter, and you're still within the blockquote tags. Is Andrew Ozz the only guy who works on the Post Editor in WordPress? Maybe I can try to get him on the show to talk about the complexities of the situation.
