Believe it or not, it used to be a lot worse. One of my first dev projects was a contenteditable based editor, and this was back in 2008 so I needed to support IE6-8, which had it's own separate API for manipulating selections/ranges and of course a whole bunch of bugs. Firefox's impmentation wasn't much better!

Yep, I remember running into the IE type edge cases too with contenteditable though I just ended up excluding IE all together as not many people use it now a days anyway. I also remember running into bugs which were logged for Firefox over a decade ago for contenteditable and no one had fixed them.
