Always interesting to hear such claims when graphic editors like Penpot, which have much tighter perf requirements than editors, are so fast while using React.

How do you implement a text editor?

I think a lot of people don't consider how complex text editors are and then there are the complexities of an IDE, or extensions, to be able to interact with it.

    I'm not saying text editors are on the last place in terms of perf requirements.

    I'm just saying, that general graphics editors is above that and do just fine with React.
