Marijn, I'm big fan and user of CodeMirror. I make extensive use (and arguably abuse) of it in my side project. Thanks for building ProseMirror.

One thing, how does ProseMirror work roughly? Does it avoid the `contentEditable` minefield? (I'm speaking as someone who has built a WYSIWYG editor in a past job.)

Yes, it uses contentEditable. There's a write-up from last year at http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/blog/prosemirror.html . Some details have changed (we make more use of DOM diffing and mutation observers than initially hoped), but most of the info there still applies.
