That's what I say ;) We integrated Bitfluxeditor (also called BXE) into
oc4ware as a proof-of-concept for editing CMS pages. Our clients liked this
feature very much at the beginning, then they became sceptical because they
are so much used to the MS Word WYSIWYG behaviour and sometimes felt
frustrated with the BXE behaviour. I think, this is an important point
because offering WYSIWYG translation for the PHP manual does not help if
people feel uncomfortable with it.
I have communicated this to the Bitflux people (Christian and Roger). They did
a great job in optimising BXE, but of course, Mozilla had some severe
limitations at that time. Now, Bitflux plans the next major version of BXE
based on Mozile[1] providing a better look-and-feel. So maybe they can join
us for the discussion?

To see the cursor, make sure caret browsing is on by hitting F7.
