Comment (by azaozz):

 @melchoyce, @westonruter, you are aware that when we add HTML support to
 the Text widget #35243, it will make this widget pretty much redundant as
 everybody will be able to add an image there. Even if the UI in the Text
 widget it cut down to only supporting a handful of HTML tags, it still
 will be more useful as the users will be able to paste any HTML they want
 in there.

 I'm not sure it will be a good UX to have two widget that do the exact
 same thing and have different UI.
