Yup. I'm working on a sort of forum / collaboration space for my nonprofit (we're within a few months of open-sourcing it), and one of the big reasons we started from scratch is allowing users to work natively with rich text editors.

Didn't you use existing rich text editors like TinyMCE or CKEditor?

Well, we ended up using quill.js in our own system (it's rad, and pretty easy to wire into an operational transform system to handle concurrent edits). But at least at the time we were looking, discourse was markdown only.

We had a lot of needs that weren't met by other FOSS platforms, so it wasn't just rich text, but rich text was a big driver there.
