TinyMCE is ugly!

I worked on a better User Interface for TinyMCE, inspired by the new Wordpress interface. The intention is to make TinyMCE easier to use and read for bloggers, editors. TinyMCE is ugly, but thank god, it left some options to design it so we could have something like this :

After designing and theming with Drupal for almost a year and a half, I realize now that if there is one thing that is not easy with Drupal, it's creating Image Galleries.

I now know many ways to create image galleries (image, image_gallery, imagefield, views, etc. etc. etc.), but none of them feels to me like the ideal solution. The way I see it, Drupal does not have a "proper" image gallery module. And more important, none of them are user-friendly enough.

I've been thinking about how we could use the node system to create image galleries, where images could be re-used, categorized, organized... and how to make all this easier for the end user. After sharing these ideas with the Raincity folks, I came up with this outline for a new, flexible Drupal-native image gallery system.
