It's been more than 1 year since we started this thread and we still have the TinyMCE editor bundled in the XWiki WAR. I just created a branch to remove it https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/compare/remove-tinymce-editor . Note that besides the files located in resources/js/xwiki/wysiwyg/tinymce/* there are many other files (Velocity templates, JavaScript code, CSS styles in the skin, Java test page objects) that reference the TinyMCE editor and which had to be updated (see the branch). This makes the creation of a "TinyMCE Editor" extension that can be installed, even manually, pretty hard. I'm in favour of simply removing the TinyMCE files and its references (see the branch). For the XWiki 1.0 documents, there will be an automatic redirect to the Wiki editor. So we simply say that we don't provide a WYSIWYG editor for the XWiki 1.0 syntax any more.
WDYT?
I think we should wait 1 more month and do this cleanup in 8.0. +1 to say we don’t provide a XWiki 1.0 WYSIWYG editor any more for 8.0. -1 for doing this in 7.4 (seems too risky for little user benefit). Thanks -Vincent
Thanks, Marius

Hi devs,
Here’s what I commented on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/307 :
“ Thanks Pascal. I've just noticed that we still bundle TinyMCE in XWiki's WAR. It was probably left for backward compatibility but since it's been like 6-7 years that we've dropped it, I believe we could vote about dropping it from our sources and if someone really needs it they'll still be able to manually install them in their wikis. I'll follow up on the devs list, thanks. “
WDYT? Are you ok to remove it?
Thanks -Vincent
