I actually went through the same VS Code articles and ended up implementing a minimal Piece Table for this project. I focused on adding just enough functionality to handle Undo/Redo according to my specific needs.
So far, it has been working well for my use case. Since the codebase is compact, it is straightforward to test and maintain. For a solo project, I've found that using a data structure I can fully grasp is an advantage.
I’m interested to see where your project goes, whether you stick with Piece Tree or pivot. Building an editor from scratch is a unique experience, isn't it?
