Hey Tade0! As much as we love CKEditor 5 that we created, we also love our users who are still widely using CKEditor 4. Some of them invested many, many months to create custom plugins, adopt CKEditor to their systems and so on. So, being a responsible company, we will maintain this product still for several years. As a company that creates components, which are embed into other systems, we have to simply deliver stuff that others, including big enterprise customers, can rely on. I know it's a bit unusual in JavaScript world to maintain software for 8(!) or even more years, but this is what we do. Yes, we're a bit crazy.
