Does anyone else notice a tiny typing lag? I can't point to it, but whenever I type with a delayed response it feels as though I'm slogging through muddy ground, an almost subliminal sensation.
A more noticeable thing is that if you select some text and then Bold / Italics / Underscore, etc. there is a flash where the text appears to be no selected and then becomes selected again.
Given this is React, my guess of what is going on is that the rich text is redrawn when these buttons are pressed (and perhaps even on each keystroke) and the selection has to be re-applied in code.
Perhaps they can improve this, but this is why I think it's important to stay away from high level frameworks for doing low-level things like text editing. Use your high level framework for application architecture and all that good stuff, but when something has to be fast, drop down to the lowest level you have.
