The code editor core extracted by Microsoft from VS Code. It is feature-complete, supporting intelligent completion, multiple cursors, built-in diff, and the Language Server Protocol, but it is relatively large and its interaction design is primarily desktop-oriented.

Simon Willison originally intended to use the Monaco editor, but because Monaco's current mobile experience is not good enough, he switched to CodeMirror 6.
Monaco offers a powerful desktop experience with extremely complete functionality, including intelligent completion, multiple cursors, built-in diff, and language server protocol integration, but it is large (often on the order of several MB after bundling), and its interactions rely on mouse hover, right-click menus, and keyboard shortcuts, making the touchscreen experience disjointed.
