I personally like the simple feature set, but also have a lot of sites where extra functionality is needed. All those features are default present in the tinymce plugin and only need to be enabled. I therefore developed a custom version of the tinymce plugin which allows to enter plugins, menu items (row 1,2,3) and allowed htmltags (automatically included in htmlawed) in admin settings.
This way i can give the option to each site admin to define their own set of features for the editor.

Since we have included the paste from word in the 1.8 version of tinymce, I'm closing this.

Pasting from Word is always a mess, even with this plugin. At a previous position I wrote a TinyMCE plugin that detected if someone was pasting from Word and gave them an error saying that it was unsupported and to use format text in the browser. This was universally more useful than dealing with the complaints that pasting from Word either 1) breaks everything or 2) doesn't look like it does in Word.
