Have you looked at Quill https://quilljs.com/? I was looking at text editors yesterday for a new project, where I want to represent images as either custom tags or placeholders that get transformed (in the system the image is known by its storage ID, not a URL) and Quill looked easier to work with than ProseMirror.

I haven't tried ProseMirror, but I've can second the endorsement for Quill. For the past three months, I've been working on a large-scale integration of Quill (with lots of customizations) into a commercial word-processor (https://shaxpir.com) and it has been a lovely experience.
A lot of the underlying ideas are similar between Quill and ProseMirror, so I'm curious to hear a knowledgable comparison of the two. But the excellent Quill documentation, as well as the responsiveness of the primary developer to github issues and stackoverflow questions, made it an easy choice for me.
I have looked at it and don't remember why I didn't end up using it. Perhaps due to my ignorance, I have probably thought it wasn't capable of outputting Markdown seamlessly, and that was really necessary for https://github.com/fiatjaf/coisas/.
