Do you know why to use the Rich text editor over the Markdown editor?

When creating a SharePoint Modern page, you can use many different webparts to enrich your content - Videos, Embedded PowerBI, and many more.
When you want to add plain text to a page, you have two choices: Text (or Rich Text) Webpart, or Markdown WebPart.

Whenever possible, you should use the Text WebPart as it offers a much nicer editing experience, but more importantly provides a detailed Version History.
Figure: You can navigate to the page version history through "Page Details" | "Version History"
✅ Figure: Good example - Turn on Highlight changes on this page so you can see the detailed changes in an easy-to-read format
❌ Figure: Bad Example - Markdown WebPart - No detailed history, all I can tell is that something changed on that component
✅ Figure: Good example – Rich Text WebPart - I can very easily tell what's been added/removed from the content
