This component is really useful and works well. I feel, it should be added to Product. However, I came across following scenarios/use cases where I find it difficult to use.
1. We have a requirement to display rich text created by users via this component in a!gridField() columns. I don't see any support for displaying the rich text as-is from this component.
2. richTextField() function is not supported in Side by Side layout. I received following error.
Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function a!sideBySideLayout [line 6]: A side by side layout has an invalid item. The item at index 1 contains a component that is not supported in a side by side layout. Received: CertifiedSAILExtension.
Unfortunately Component Plugins aren't supported in either Grids or Side-by-Side Layouts.
I've logged a use case for you.
