I tried many of them, the one I liked best is from the dojo toolkit.  
Personally I even prefer just a resizable textarea with a tooltip-poup  
for  
markdown syntax)  
Those richtext editors all very large and none of them uses Prototype.

I don’t know about better but TinyMCE was very easy to setup and  
configure.  
On my very small, simple, intranet site it hasn’t had a real performance  
impact either.

Choose TinyMCE and only because you can configure it (once you  
understand how this workd - there is a nice example in their forum  
somewhere) and it generates nice HTML. FCKEditor basically creates  
  
 when you type enter but TinyMCE creates nice

aragraphs

  
and closes them for you.
