Eric, I came across this post from 2014 and am having the exact same debate today you had between leveraging Quill w/o table support & getting collaborative editing or leveraging TinyMCE and losing the ability to do collaborative editing.
I was curious if you had an update on what you ultimately decided to do for this project? Were you able to add table support to Quill? Or if you came across any other solutions that avoided some of these trade-offs? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
