Cubemail is 80% tinymce and queryui on the rendering front. We have different sensibility, Having notifications / autorefresh / working on mobile is more important to me that a predictable, static and stale interface.

About the copy and paste situation, having implemented a text editor myself, JS is of great help to handle copy and paste. Just letting the platform do what it does via the text entry of the copy buffer has some underwhelming behavior that are seen as bugs.

Copy and paste in JS is very hard. It is like 2004 style writing code for each browser.

The good thing about scripting it is handling images on the clipboard. But Reddit: please invest in making it work and not regressing!

If you just need plain text then native HTML works fine. Never had issues when the JS is not interfering.
