RichTextFX isn't great -- documentation is generally unhelpful and not much development lately. I've also found bugs in the component and figuring my way around internals is hard for a new-ish Kotlin dev.

Rich Text Editor
RichTextFX is very much Some Assembly Required and there isn't much documentation. I would definitely say it's not easy to use IMHO. I'm currently working on creating a word processing control with it, but it's still very much a work in progress. If you go the route of using RichTextFX, the repo might help you figure some things out.

VirtualizedFX and TextFlow will be key to creating stylized text editor if you decide to venture that direction. A game changer. RichtextFX is the most popular but uses Flowless as a virtualised container for TextFlow display, hence has many dependencies.
