The editor comes from the Wikimedia Foundation. It is a MediaWiki feature. Core changes to it would be in the same vein of what caused the issues with the forked copy of MediaWiki 1.19 we're operating on for legacy Fandom now.

That all being said, we're working on where we can make performance improvements and taking user feedback on the UI into account, but it's not something that will happen overnight. We still have a global team of engineers working from home whilst children are home from school to deliver an entire platform of features, at the same time balancing bug fixes and non-bug feedback changes. It's a colossal effort made significantly more difficult by the significantly less than ideal world climate. All this is to say that the developers are doing unbelievable work amidst unprecedented challenges.
