Quoting and editing different quotes is only possible in source mode and I've seen a lot of complaints in my boards with the Sceditor in WYSIWYG mode.

yes... lot of complaints in my forum too before plugin having the option source mode and partial mode.

Partial mode is default in my forum to all users (plugin to mybb 1.6), with option to put source mode in default on usercp.

personally better not has full WYSIWYG mode. Only IPB use full WYSIWYG mode, and has same issue of sceditor. Not possible insert new line before quote if you put quote tag in first line and too into between two quotes. Practically impossible to split the quote into two or more parts. The problem is extremely annoying. Better partial mode in default as Xenforo and VB 5 and option to put source mode in default in usercp.

Partial mode is hundreds of times better than full WYSIWYG mode.
I'm almost sure that if full WYSIWYG mode for MyBB 1.8 default, the complaint about the editor will be endless and constant. I'm sure from my own experience and the comments of TBO29 proves it.
So what is the consensus here?

1. There will be two modes, Source mode and Partial mode, but not Full mode.

2. The button bar changes this back and forth.

3. The initial setting will be Source, but the user can change the default in the user CP.

4. And maybe a setting in Admin CP to set the initial default. Or would this be adding unnecessary (overkill) onto the programmers and maybe revisit this later.

Whatever is done, please don't leave out Source mode. It is the only way to fix deep formatting problems, enter strikeout, etc.

That's what I'm having. I already have 5! pages end more than 20 PM of discussions because of the Editor in Full mode.

Another question is if the choice should be on the side of the User or of the Admin, because speaking of source mode/partial mode/full mode for most of them is like speaking an unknown language. So I'm not so sure about the user-cp choice.

mybb already accept my PR of source mode https://github.com/mybb/mybb/pull/646 (thanks again @Destroy666x)

PR of partial mode i changed to ACP settings: https://github.com/mybb/mybb/pull/650
Now waiting to accept by mybb team.
If I were to include partial mode I would also include image and the PHP MyCodes as ones disabled by it.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that the PHP MyCode doesn't exist in the editor...Confused
