I’m curious to hear from anyone who’s using EditText from compose.
1. Why? (styled text editing or something else?)
2. How much effort did you spend getting it to integrate seamlessly, try to match Compose text field behavior?
3. What state api shape did you use? (text, onTextChange or hoisted state object?)
4. Are you wrapping it in a design system composable (like Material’s TextField)?
5. What are the biggest pain points you found?

1. Styled text editing.
In my case, I use it for styled text editing, which isn’t supported by BTF1/2. However, my use case is somewhat unique.

I do not use it, but a big pain point right now with basic text field is no proper support for autofill.
But I need that for multiplatform either way so I have to live with it unfortunately.
