I have seen your page https://github.com/nossas/slate-editor/tree/develop/packages and I wonder by pure curiosity why you haven't merge all the package in the main package, I assume it's for performance but at the end of the day the gain is minimal for the boilerplate IMHO ? So just a basic question,

thanks for your awesome work

I have "splitted" the slate-editor plugins into multiple packages to permit other developers that already have its own implementation of slate, instead of use slate-editor itself, can use which plugin he desire... without having to "download" the whole slate-editor package in its project. The "fuse" that take me to decide to split plugins into separated packages was this issue.
