The last thing I want for notable developers of high quality WYSIWYG editors is to get upset. Take this with a grain of salt. Continue doing the great things you do with ProseMirror and your other valuable open source contributions. But don't get upset. Try getting inspired, to move with the times, to trust browsers more, to make YOUR projects smaller, lighter, and easier to use.
P.S. Just because something is small, doesn't mean it's a crude afternoon hack :)

While I'm certain you have good intentions, the size comparison chart at the top of the README is a bit misleading. It would be fair to list out the trade-offs on going ahead with ContentEditable so that users can know what they are getting if they choose Pell.
To clarify, Pell looks awesome and I don't intend to diss on your project or your hard work, just that the way the project's README is laid out I feel @marijn's response is not totally unwarranted.
Do you genuinely believe he has not explored that approach? How is one meant to get inspired by something they have already explored? Please don't be rude and wrong at the same time.
