Quill is a rich-text WYSIWYG editor library for end-users who want to format text on websites. You would use it to clone Google Docs, for ex. It's not really an editor you would want to write code in.
Those two are implemented with contenteditable, which is a very flawed mechanism that isn't standard or consistent across browsers. Quill is implemented entirely in JS.
Thank you. I'm going to check it out. Both TinyMCE and CK work well if we have a handful of these on the page. But anything more than that, it becomes a mess and drags the page down :(
I believe Quill relies on contenteditable in order to support certain operations, such as pasting. Quill has its own document model, and supports things like deltas/operational transforms, which are practically impossible if you use the DOM as the truth like TinyCKE et al do.
It relies on contenteditable. You can just paste any old thing into it — not sure whether some stuff gets stripped by the document model, but that's kind of beside the point. Once you use contenteditable you get a whole bunch of weirdness for free.
