Ace and CodeMirror are the clear leaders in editors now.

As Ace has massive backing behind it, and a long history that has clearly stabilised against an impressive and active Open Source project, this is what I think we should go with.

Okay, let me know when it's time to move forward on this one

Ideally I'd like to do it alongside #1753. When I originally created this issue, the landscape was still a mess -- but Ace has really taken off now.

Finally, this one is implemented. It is on github in the feature__code_editing_update branch, which will be merged in for v11, which will be a relatively short development cycle. Thank you for the sponsorship Rishi, and sorry for the huge lead time. We're getting there though!
