Editor
An editor is a software tool for editing code, text, or content, such as HTML, CSS, or CMS content in web design. Well-known examples include Visual Studio Code or the integrated editors in WordPress , which offer syntax highlighting and autocomplete.
The editor is where you work every day. Therefore, it determines the perceived quality of a system more than any list of features. An editor that takes five seconds to save will cost you more time and frustration over a year than any missing special function.
A real-world example: Someone who makes 20 content changes per month and saves each change three times will wait 5 minutes per month with a 5-second save time, and one minute with a 1-second save time. It sounds like a small amount, but it feels completely different. A noticeably sluggish editorial area is usually due to a bloated database or insufficient PHP memory, rarely to the editor itself.
