Hi!
I was just wondering how many hours of development you've invested in the rad editor?

Hello Niclas,
Thank you for your question.
The first build of RadEditor for ASP.NET (Classic) was released in 2002-2003. In 2009 we discontinued its development in favor of the new and much enhanced RadEditor for ASP.NET AJAX, the implementation and improvement of which continues in nowadays.
Best regards,

Hi Niclas,
I'm afraid that statistics on the matter are not available. Why do you need this information? :)

We use the editor in our product and sometimes there are bugs.
And when there are bugs some crazy people say. "Why don't we build our own editor. How hard can it be".
I've tried to explain that it involves very many hours of development.
It would be great to say to them that the Telerik team invested 5,000h in developing the editor. Maybe that would make them change their mind. =)

Hi,
Actually, it will coast many more than 5000 hours of hard work for a team of experienced developers to implement a reliably working cross browser and complex WYSIWYG editor like RadEditor is. Every browser has its own rich text editing engine that produces different HTML content and there are so many browsers' bugs, inconsistencies and commands to handle and implement.
In addition RadEditor offers a number of built-in content filters that validates the content in order to produce XHTML content. You should also implement a dozen of file browser managers, other dialogs and dropdowns to provide the ability to insert images, links, documents, etc and apply formatting.
