Download size is one big factor for me.

http://cdn.aloha-editor.org/latest/lib/aloha.js 1.1MB!

http://imperavi.com/js/redactor/redactor.js 168KB (odd, it is an encrypted version)

The actual minified 8.1.0 version that you get after giving them a fake email address is 41KB.

The aloha core is 239KB (minified but not gzipped). Plugins can be anywhere from 5KB to 50KB. The version on the CDN includes about 30 plugins.

I expect the size would be around 300KB if only the basic plugins are included.

Still, it's a lot bigger than redactor - point taken.

Having a slightly larger size is a non-issue for people who aren't willing to spend at least the 100 dollars...
