Our recent strategy for providing developer tooling was to support the ASCII
TreeView
component whilst simultaneously building the developer tools web extension.However, despite some great work done by Meta interns on the web extension, we've found that as a team, we have little time to devote to polish and productionize the experimental code; the developer tools web extension would offer few new features; and for internal purposes, the
TreeView
component has been more than sufficient to help Meta teams debug Lexical editor state issues.With that in mind, I think it's best to deprecate the developer tools web extension and just concentrate on further improvements to the
TreeView
component. It already supports most of the high-priority features we initially looked to support in the web extension (now that command logging has been added as well #4022).Closes #2127
