This is great news! I know Obsidian uses CodeMirror 5 on desktop while using CodeMirror 6 on mobile, maybe the stable release will make them unite the versions again so 6 runs both on desktop and mobile? Would make life easier for writing plugins.
On a unrelated note, this irks me slightly:
> CodeMirror 6 is a new code editor library for the web, a from-scratch implementation
Why not just call it something different at that point? It's essentially CodeMirrorNext v1, if everything has been reimplemented from scratch and all the API interface intentionally changed.
That way there won't be any confusion what editor API you talk about when you say "CodeMirror". Instead, we now have to ask follow up question "Version 6 or older though?".
This seems to happen in a large part of the ecosystem. React Router for example has gone through a lot of API churn, where basically the first three/four versions of React Router all look different, and should instead have been just three/four different libraries instead of versions.
