Replit replaces Monaco with CodeMirror 6 for better mobile and performance
Replit describes its migration from the Monaco editor to CodeMirror 6, citing CodeMirror's mobile support, smaller bundle size (8.23 MB vs 51.17 MB), extensible API, and easier customization as key advantages.
The post explains that CodeMirror's modular architecture allowed Replit to replace core editor components with React portals, which was not possible with Monaco.
