Thanks for the suggestion @reddexx, but this has been discussed before in #4053 so I'm going to therefore close this off.
I wouldn't look to add support just for being an alternative.

Also, the features shown in the lexical playground are often specific to their playground code, they are not part of the core lexical library, and even then the editor is just one fact of support for something like this.
