One problem I always had with RichTextArea was they way they handled text that was copied from a word processor. Word was specifically terrible adding 2000 characters of style for text that was 50 characters long. And it's ability to do crazy things like actually have scrolling marquees, that actually happened to us where someone made a marquee in word and pasted it into the RichTextArea and it actually worked. So cleaning up pasted text is a concern as well. We just end up using normal text areas because we want all styling to be consistent and not have yellow text with 40 pt font with a magenta background.
