I'm actually surprised this link got this much traction, I actually thought this was a thing that most developers were aware of. Shows you that you ought to reconsider when disseminating information that you as a learned developer think is "too basic" to bother writing about.

To be fair, I knew nothing about contentEditable until I sat down and tried to design my own RTE. It's actually very cool how little it takes to develop one that works, and FontAwesome makes it even easier. I would definitely consider it obscure. As an aside, it's really interesting to look at the source for Ace[1]. It doesn't use contentEditable, but certainly represents the sort of complexity we'd need without contentEditable available.
