Are We Out of Luck for Rich Text Editing?
RichTextFX isn't great -- documentation is generally unhelpful and not much development lately. I've also found bugs in the component and figuring my way around internals is hard for a new-ish Kotlin dev.

Rich Text Editor
RichTextFX is very much Some Assembly Required and there isn't much documentation. I would definitely say it's not easy to use IMHO. I'm currently working on creating a word processing control with it, but it's still very much a work in progress. If you go the route of using RichTextFX, the repo might help you figure some things out.

How to have text wrapping around another component?
This is a tough one. JavaFX doesn't currently have that capability. This would involve a lot of font metrics and line metrics calculations. The API currently does not have public methods for such. Might be added in future versions of javafx.

MaterialFX reaches version 11.13.2
VirtualizedFX and TextFlow will be key to creating stylized text editor if you decide to venture that direction. A game changer. RichtextFX is the most popular but uses Flowless as a virtualised container for TextFlow display, hence has many dependencies.

Developer preview for JavaFX inside a web browser
It's not gluons project. And your words contradict themselves. If it is mirrored from a server, turning off the internet connection would freeze the game. It runs on the browser, and obviously it'll be cached after loading it once? Your words really make no sense. It's a good transpilation, that's why it's small... Can you just accept it? https://github.com/webfx-project/webfx
