The reason I wouldn't use a rich text editor is it leads to "support issues". It wasn't because the implementation was buggy but rather the fact the end-user thought it should behave like word and just copied/pasted stuff. Rich text editors are more complicated and tend to have usability issues. I had to support one for a year with very, very average users who used the application infrequently.
