Yes, they are all terrible. I don't know if this will be any better. They all highlight how bad the web is as an environment to host applications. A rich text editor - something that is a trivial toy project in any other application development environment - is impossible to build on the web in 2015.
- sstephenson 11y agoIt is not impossible. It just takes a lot of time and effort. It took two developers around 18 months to build Trix. The readme explains how our approach is different from other WYSIWYG editors. (Most others are just toolbars that call execCommand.)

- sstephenson 11y agoYes, of course we've seen ProseMirror. It looks quite nice. By the time we first heard of it several months ago, the bulk of Trix had already been written.
