WYSIWYG
TinyMCE was the original WYSIWYG editor used by WordPress for over a decade and a half. Its strength was its ability to integrate Plugins and/or Widgets direcly into your blog posts through "shortcodes".
Shortcodes
A shortcode is an HTML-like custom "templated snippet" of text that gets parsed and rendered dynamically by combining external functionality such as:
[gallery ids="47 ,86, 92, 64, 48, 75, 89, 80" columns="4" size="medium"]
Which would render as a dynamic image gallery like the following: File:WP-ImageGallery.png

Security issues
One of the downsides of Wordpress' immense popularity is that it becomes a very large/frequent target for attackers, hackers & cybersecurity researchers (both "whitehat" & "blackhat").
