In reply to Justin Tadlock.

I raised a concern on Github whether React and its MIT license conflicted with Matt's position about WordPress themes and plugins released in WordPress.org having to be GPL license only (see https://wordpress.org/news/2009/07/themes-are-gpl-too/). I opened an issue on Github and it was told that it only had to be compatible with GPL, not exclusively GPL... I don't expect it to change but I'm not sure it won't.

I didn't know that security updates went that far back... but they are not easy to get as WordPress will always push you to the latest version without giving you a choice to stay where you are, right?

The point of using download numbers for tools that bypass Gutenberg as a metric of Gutenberg acceptance is that, if Gutenberg was the ideal solution, then we'd see fewer alternatives, and more people would rally around the editor. What will the different editors and options do to market fragmentation?

I would love to see a full Markdown editor too
