> One thing I learned is that you should lean towards letting non-technical people choose their own tools like why we largely let developers choose their own tools.
IMHO: I think a more sustainable variant of this (for your own sanity) might be to ask them which tool(s) they like and then take some time to understand WHY. But then instead of just letting them use those directly, you would either vet them first yourself or else find a similar one to those that can satisfy their needs (as an editor) AND yours (as a dev).
If I let every client/friend/family member who came to me for this sort of advice just pick their own tools, I'd end up with a bunch of Word docs with embedded copied & pasted crap from five other tools and no easy way to clean and publish them or back them up and version control them for diffing and rollbacks, etc.
I guess the dev version of this would be like letting every individual dev set up their own production deploys however they like, even if it's just some rando FTP client, instead of having some sort orderly CI/CD process.
If it's just you and your buddy and you don't mind taking the time to clean up their docs every time there's a new blog post... that's fine, I guess. But it can quickly get pretty overwhelming if you have more than user/tool to support, or you just publish updates frequently. In that case, having a nice WYSIWYG for them that's good enough, but can also generate clean structured output for you (something like Markdown or a API, as opposed to RTF, Word XML, HTML, etc.) can make life MUCH easier for you. And anyone that comes after you.
You can also build your own system off something like https://quilljs.com/, https://prosemirror.net/, or https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate to customize it to their needs while still getting clean enough input.

slate
A completely customizable framework for building rich text editors. (Currently in beta.) (by ianstormtaylor)
However, I had difficulties inserting editable BLOCKS with syntax highlighting for code. Yes, there is an official example, but at least for me, it's not very clear.

Yes, https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut
(See also: Kdenlive)
I don't agree that's a good definition of friendly but that's ok.

There are paid tools available. For example, the Tiptap rich text editor is free to use, but some advanced features and APIs are paid for. For example, the cursor editor heavily relies on AI capabilities, so it requires payment for use.
-
lexical
Lexical is an extensible text editor framework that provides excellent reliability, accessibility and performance.
Project mention: TypeScript 5.7 RC Released, New npm Alternative, The Future of JavaScript Frameworks and more | dev.to | 2024-11-17Lexical 0.20

MS is a bit weird. After realizing that most competent developers had left the MS ecosystem, they went for a Zeitenwende. But they did only for 90%.
I wonder to what extent this halfheartedness should be ascribed to the MS org chart or to reasoning like "we should prevent a competent competitor to run away with our tools".
In the mean time, there is a capable replacement named Theia [0] with none of the strings attached. We as a whole would do best to move to that one. [1]

1. That is to say: for vscode kind of experience. Native IDE's are unbeatable imho.

Project mention: Ask HN: How have you integrated LLMs in your development workflow? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-29
The competition in AI editors is a bit silly at this moment. Everyone and his dog are "building" an AI assisted editor now by duct taping Ollama onto VSCode. I don't like my data being sent to untrusted parties, so I cannot evaluate most of these. On top of that, the things keep evolving as well, and editors that I dismissed a few months ago, are now all of a sudden turning into amazing productivity boosters, thanks to developments in both models as well as in editor tricks.
My money is on Cursor [1], which does not stop to amaze me, and seems to get a lot of traction. The integration is very clever, and it is scary how it figures out what I intend to do. Then again, I'm probably doing mundane tasks most of the time. For the few bright moments in my day I tend to use ChatGPT, because most of my real problems are in application domains, not in code.
I am not a firm believer in forking large open source projects, because it will take a lot of effort to keep up with future diversions. This makes me a bit wary of projects such as Cursor and Void [2]. Somebody needs deep pockets to sustainably surpass the popularity of VSCode. To point out just one problem with forking: VSCode works fine in Ubuntu, but Cursor does not work out of the box in Ubuntu. Having to disable the sandbox is a show-stopper for most.
In that respect, the extensions might be a safer bet, and I think Sourcegraph's Cody and Continue are making the largest waves there. Hard to tell with so many waves.
