  • Localization
  • Ready templates with different options (MUI, Bootstrap, etc...)
  • Dark/Light modes
  • Custom styling flexibility
  • Disassembling all of the toolbar to enable using them as nested components, increasing the flexibility
  • Enabling adjusting editor settings such read-only mode and etc. programmatically
