Why does FME Workbench save some workspaces as text files and some as binaries?

When workspace is stored as text file in xml format, we can try to compare different versions and to find differences that have been applied to workspace.

It is really important in case of code review and especially if something is broken in new release and it is not dependent on input data.

That will only happen if you save a workspace with a password. If you save it with a password then the workspace is encrypted so it can't be opened manually. Otherwise you could just open the file and copy the contents to get around the password.
