    initial v1  
    11@westonruter Yeah, I understand why. The bulk of WordPress users are not developers, and so updating the old Text widget to the new one makes sense for probably the larger population of WP users.

    3 I would honestly be happy with a change in 4.8.1 to not make the Visual editor the default in Text widgets. That way, I can wait on upgrading sites, and when the the new HTML Code Widget is available, I can more easily go in and copy/paste existing HTML out of Text widgets and into the new HTML Code widget. As it stands, with the Visual Editor being the default, I have no opportunity for recovering non-extraneous HTML code that currently exists in Text widgets.
