Yep. Let me stress that there's absolutely nothing wrong with this if that's what you want to do -- but it's less than optimal for the person who just wants to add a JavaScript file for the editor, with maybe a JS/CSS combo to support syntax highlighting for a specific language. Codemirror 5 was like that, pretty much.
You basically have to set up a whole independent build and packaging system to configure Codemirror 6, and a lot of people just don't want to deal with that.
It's a pity it's the only JavaScript-based editor that works at all reliably on mobile (I would be delighted to be proven wrong about this).
- The_Colonel 3y agoThat's why I'm staying with CodeMirror 5 too. It seems like for the past few years many high profile JS projects increased the complexity of using their software for (to me) unclear benefits.
