Interesting you say DX is a large aspect of what you are going for. ProseMirror is awesome but the API can be somewhat complex for simple things (but at the same time incredibly powerful when you get to understand it). I absolutely love TipTap[0] which is providing a much more user friendly API on top of ProseMirror, along with a clean Plugin system.

Going to have to have a play with Lexical, excited to see Yjs support!

ProseMirror has some of the worst developer experience possible. I wasted so much time figuring out it’s convoluted API and abandoned it soon after.

It does apparently have the best live editing / collaboration features of all text editors out there.

I would disagree on "worst developer experience possible", it has a very steep leaning curve, but once you grok it it makes a lot of sense.

Fundamental problem with Tiptap is its horrendous docs. If lexical can put out better docs, it is better than Tiptap automatically.
