Best modern web WYSIWYG editor?

Question

I haven't been using a WYSIWYG editor for some years in projects. Now I start a new project were I need/might need one.What editor do you currently use? What is "the best"?[Edit] I do think I'd prefer the editor to generate Markdown that I want to store, but it could generate "clean" HTML/XML/JSON too.[Edit2] I thought about a Javascript editor to be embedded in a website.

I don't know that it is "the best", but CKEditor 5 is what we use because of how flexible and extensible it is. It has a plugin that can convert it to using Markdown instead of HTML.
Out-of-the-box, it likely isn't what you want, but if you learn how it and its plugin system works, you can make it what you want.
Their team also is fairly awesome - as we've twisted it to our needs, their support folks have always been there for us to not only answer questions, but even going so far as to understand what we are trying to do, and having their dev staff send us sample code to help us out.

Definitely not Redactor. It has the same bugs it had 4 years ago, and there is no place to report them. The redactor team never returned my emails.
