OK, that all sounds reasonable. Still kind of want to make my own non-insane WYSIWYG thing. I only vaguely remember contentEditable. I do recall it being far from a cure-all for, well, any real-world problem.
If you have replaced libraries with your own code, have you made any of this open source? I would love to see an existance proof that I am not alone on a planet of pure scum.
Usually when I do this I am 1) being paid to write proprietary code and 2) not trying to write a library. It's a little bit arrogant, IMO, to take the code you used to solve a problem and try to generalize it into The Way Everyone Should Parse JSON in C#TM (or whatever). And I don't want to "dox" myself with a Github link on a Reddit alternative LOL.
That said, I have a pretty extensive and well-tested math library out there under the GPL license, and a specialized compiler, and something that's designed to replace Crystal Reports or SSRS with something much smaller and different. I'm not too involved with web development per se, I guess.

Of course I did that.

I'm not much of a Java expert but that looks like useful, readable code. IDK if you'll ever gain the kind of architectural influence you want, but you seem like one of the "good guys."
