Indeed, even if we already have a lot of feedback, more feedback is always useful. Even if someone else might have said something similar, seeing multiple requests or slightly different takes on an idea will still be quite informative for us.

Our plans around the editors is quite flexible - but it is of course in everyone's best interests that we significantly surpass the older version. We wouldn't be doing this if that wasn't the plan :)

TSL, the classic rich-text editor will be going away at some point - it is simply not fit for the future. We have no plans to phase out the classic source editor.
