CK Editor 5 Versus 4 for New User












0















I have a more generic question. We want to install an editor in our application to allow teachers to teach others through learning posts. In order to accomplish this we plan to start with the classic ckeditor5 and then customize it to allow certain users to add things like science and math formulas, slide show presentations, etc.



Are we too early for this with CKE5? Should we stick with CKE4 and use the variety of plug-ins that are offered out of the box.



I just want to make sure CKE5 is ready for prime time.



Thanks so much for your response.

          Ckeditor4 pros:




          1. A lot of plugins available and easy to create custom plugin

          2. UI customisation easy

          3. A lot of pre-build skins available including Microsoft word 2013

          4. Custom build can be easily made with online builder


          CKeditor4 cons:




          1. Difficult to implement with frameworks like react. Has to be implemented by creation script elements and appending to the DOM.


          CKeditor5 pros:




          1. Direct implementation with react possible with rpm packages.

          2. Basic UI and toolbar looks a little better than ck4


          CKeditor cons:




          1. Very Less plugins available.

          2. Plugins need to be installed as packages

          3. UI customisation difficult
