  • Quill - quilljs.com - modern editor built for compatibility and extensibility
  • Trix - trix-editor.org - by Basecamp team used in v3
  • CKEditor 5 - ckeditor.com - long history, very customizable, new architecture with built-in collaboration
  • Editor.js - editorjs.io - block-based editor
  • TipTap - tiptap.dev - headless, framework-agnostic, extendable editor based on ProseMirror
  • Etherpad - etherpad.org - collaborative realtime editing framework, backend, and editor
  • Draft - draftjs.org - rich text editor framework for React
  • Slate - slatejs.org - customizable framework for building rich text editors inspired by Draft, ProseMirror, Quill

Thanks for including TinyMCE! V5 is out now and has a completely rewritten UI using the best parts of Textbox.io. You can probably merge these two entries now :)

Thanks for doing this list! It is great. It would be great to add a column saying whether they are open-source (MIT / BSD) etc because we've realised to use so of these editors in our commercial SaaS application, we would need to buy a licence - and some of those are quite pricey!
