One of our competitive advantages is making bets on technologies before the rest of the market catches on.
One such bet we've made is on CodeMirror .
We switched our editor from a proven but stagnant technology, Monaco, and towards CodeMirror.
We know we made the right decision because We can now make changes, most importantly bug fixes, much more quickly.
The new search panel we were able to build is much better than the version that shipped with Monaco.
The new editor's improved performance is already showing up in better user onboarding success.
CodeMirror's extensibility will enable us to ship one of the most most long-awaited features: Themes!
Alongside taking bold technology bets, one of our operating principles is moving with urgency and focus.
In doing so, we have shipped some amazing things with a small team in an incredibly short period of time.

We realize that we moved a bit too quickly in upgrading our editor.
The editing experience degraded in some ways we hadn't accounted for.
We’re really sorry for the trouble this may have caused some of you.
