What choice do we have? We have to find a solution to the problem. ContentEditable is much harder to work with. This is a solution, and I hope we will at some point work out a new web API that makes these tasks easier.
Your reasoning is that I am missing out on a large percentage of users. I understand where this is coming from. I am working on mobile apps as well, as I did with iOS. I can try to close that gap even more, but I can't just switch to ContentEditable. I don't have the time, and there are already tons of projects that do that.
But if Google did it at their scale, then I think the tradeoff is reasonable, don't you think? You said in another HN post that they don't really use pure canvas. What do you mean? ContentEditable for capturing input?
