The person who got inspired by prosemirror and built lexical is no more at meta. Go to the repository and you'll find it's already in maintenance mode. Its promise of cross platform extensible editor is unrealised yet.

I'd pick prosemirror any day over Lexical.

Seems like the contribution graph is on the highest for long time: https://github.com/facebook/lexical/graphs/contributors?from...

But Claude is playing part of it.

You are wrong, Lexical it is not in maintenance mode and continues to receive commits from contributors. 24k stars and counting.

We used Lexical intensively in my company (Crisp), and I can confirm it's definitely not in maintenance mode. What's super cool with Lexical is the package/extension system. For instance, we use the Lexical markdown package a lot; it's not the gold standard yet, but since we have a large user base, over the years we've made a few PRs to the Lexical team, and they approved/reviewed the PRs in 24 hours.

About WordGuard:

There is no community behind it; the guy building it clearly wants no AI involved and even has his own internal Git hosting system.

Finally, there is no single user on WordGuard.

I see virtually no reason to use Wordgard over lexical.
