Ace, CodeMirror, and Monaco: A Comparison of the Code Editors You Use in Browser
FYI, this is a few months old, if you want to read something up to date, check out https://blog.replit.com/codemirror
Unfortunately copy and paste doesn't work well on Firefox on Linux in any of these fancy editors because support for the primary selection is broken and Mozilla doesn't seem interested in fixing it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593761
The article calls CodeMirror "lightweight" but the minified JS is still over 1 MB. If you want lightweight then you probably want something like CodeJar (https://github.com/antonmedv/codejar) which clocks in at 2 kB.

Ace, CodeMirror, and Monaco: A Comparison of the Code Editors You Use in Browser
Not mentioned in the article but CodeMirror has a brilliant story for collaborative editing. You have two options:
- An Operational Transform (OT) based system built by Marijn (the creator of CodeMirror)
OT Demo: https://codemirror.net/6/examples/collab/
- A Conflict Free Replicated Datatype (CRDT) based system using Yjs crated by Kevin Jahns (the creator of Yjs) - https://github.com/yjs/y-codemirror
Yjs Demo: https://demos.yjs.dev/codemirror/codemirror.html
Both are brilliant, but I'm a huge fan of Yjs - the number of different bindings to different editors (and state systems) is brilliant.
What are some alternatives?
