I noticed that the review http://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmgm.2016.07.008  did not 
include mention of Chem4Word, noteworthy because V 2 has recently been 
released; https://chem4word.codeplex.com as opensource.

I do not think such a thing currently exists. The ChemDoodle tool, while not 
open, is at least low cost, and they do support open source web components 
(http://web.chemdoodle.com/)

This is a sorely lacking area.

It might be useful to categorize those areas where more effort would be 
valuable. Did John May put effort into JChempaint - what I saw was certainly 
improved from when I last visited it. Is it a useful tool, being used? And if 
not is it capable of being developed.
It's a pity that JME is not open - after about 20 years.
Graphics libraries have improved - a good MSc student could develop an editor - 
should we have a wish list that could be distributed?
