Perhaps consider coming of that high horse of yours ![]()
No seriously, it's totally understandable that you might need extra text editor features, but like you yourself mentioned in your post, specific ideas about what needs to be added to the text editor have been posted a dozen times. So I think what dplumb is getting to is that it would pay off to do a search on this forum and vote up the specific ideas that you want to see implemented.
You'd be amazed on how much time this all costs to implement. The developers are not likely to react on a broad idea like 'better text', but specific ideas like 'make the border instance based' or 'add columns capability' or even 'add inline table functionality in text editor' are ideas that can be acted upon.
