You are being downvoted for fairly obvious reasons, so I think most people don&#x27;t see the need to tell you why:<p>First, you added a snarky, negative comment as the first response to someone open-sourcing a new library. There&#x27;s no need for this, especially when spicyj is (as far as I&#x27;ve seen) an extremely gracious open-sourcer. Your comment&#x27;s core complaint, about library lock-in, was actually a valid complaint, and something that should be discussed. But sadly, the way you brought up the idea means that no one else will want to engage.<p>Then, you replied to @spicyj&#x27;s helpful response, which had I been him I probably wouldn&#x27;t have even bothered with, with another snarky negative comment.<p>Finally, someone else jumped into the conversation with another solution, and you replied to their comment with a sarcastic non-question. Not only that, but you used a strawman of &quot;to make a simple rich text editor work&quot;, when clearly that&#x27;s not all Draft.js is trying to do.<p>And then after all of that, you complained about being anonymously downvoted. (And even in lodging that complaint you somehow managed to further subtly insult @tlrobinson.)<p>---<p>I actually think your original issue, about library lock-in for text editor&#x27;s a valid point. I see a lot of work going into separate rich text editors that are all reinventing the same sorts of things, with no clear best solution being developed for real-time use cases like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper. I really wish the perfect, easy solution for those existed.<p>That said, I&#x27;m excited about Draft.js because I think anything that Facebook wants to throw their open-source weight behind will get more love, even if it encourages others to make more competing editor libraries.
