Drupal 8 offers considerable functionality for managing fielded content. Unexpected business needs, however, can result in less-than-ideal workarounds, such as rich text, when time, budget, or data constraints prevent more Drupal-specific solutions, such as Views.

Maintainability can be impacted when rich text is used for unintended purposes, such as alternative page layouts. This is among the reasons why it's essential for developers to guide clients toward better solutions, while carefully curating tools available in the rich text editor.
