They're busy creating it.

I can see if the editor is going to be replaced it adding time into the mix.
First they have to decide on what they are going to replace it with... then they have to implement the changes for it ,which will probably end up being extensive if trying to keep backwards compatibility with many larger add-ons that are dependent upon the editor.
The editor issue is a fairly recent thing... so IF there is a change planned, the extended time is expected.

I heard a rumour that Kier was moonlighting for Invision, maybe he just got confused.

Sounds very reasonable. But whatever it is, share it with the community. That's all I'm asking. The lack of transparency worries me slightly.

Yeah, that came up late enough that I almost wonder if it would happen in 2.3 but who knows? As @duderuud said, it would be nice to know if something like that is the case.
I am not up for a major upgrade until Fall at least in any case. I was supposed to be stepping back and letting the other admin take over but she's had IRL issues so I ended up doing 2.2.13 and some other recent admin stuff myself. However, I am taking my first post-pandemic overseas trip in July so will be offline for a while. And have other things to do in my life than deal with a major upgrade of WC2.
So, frankly, if it takes until sometime in Q4, I am down with that.

I have always wondered if they (XF) maintain some sort of back channel to the 3rd party devs so they know either not to continue on a project as the update will be nixing the need for an addon, or what type of changes they are going to have to focus on with their current addon(s)?

No. We find out about new stuff at the exact time as everyone else.

Owi! That kind of sucks.

Yes this is what I've been told as well.

Another way to look at it, is it would be better if they released 2.3 sooner so by the time you came round to upgrading it in Q4, the inevitable bugs one finds in a major update would have likely been ironed out and you'd be installing something like 2.3.1, or 2.3.2 etc. This is the scenario I prefer.

Waiting for .1 is also a likely scenario, but waiting until Winter for a .1 release is not out of the question. There is, to be frank, nothing that 2.3 can add that is urgently needed by us. Even the Froala issues have not really been much of a bother so an upgraded or replacement editor is not a rush item. No one is clamouring for anything. I hope, for the sake of others, that it comes sooner, but I am not champing at the bit myself.

xF version 2.3 has me as excited for it's iminent release as I am for Microsoft Word version 16.75.
16.74 is holding my development back, I can't wait to see how much better my letters will be on Word 16.75.
