Now would be a good time to come for Wordpress and their huge failure in their new editor called Gutenberg.

Gutenberg promises to have WYSIWYG editable React components, which is a big deal, but they made insane decisions like storing the attributes in HTML, rendering HTML in the database, and requiring component developers to keep an array of deprecated changes when they want to modify anything on the component. In other words: you want to add a new CSS class to your component? Need an entirely new component for that in addition to maintaining the last one. Failure to deprecate will result in something like a fatal error in the editor that the user can't recover from. It's like PHP-era decisions with modern promises.

People are thrashing around in Github Issues, but the team seems unbothered. I would pay $$$$ for someone to unseat them.
