GhostText is a similar extension that uses your external text editor, which in some cases (especially for short messages) is a worse UI, but has a huge benefit - you won't lose your precious comment data even if all the browser/extension/editor close/crash (with an editor supporting hot exit)! But also for larger text messages you don't get constrained by the typically small input text fields In a dreamy ideal world this, of course, would be the kind of basic functionality that any self-respecting OS would offer - in any text input field in any app.
