Comment (by adriannees):

 Yes I know, I'm aware of that - but it requires looking up the media URL
 before doing doing so and doesn't have the wysiwyg image options making it
 just as difficult as the text editor was before in this regard  while also
 having the added inconvenience of it stripping your code or adding
 additional code if you flip to the visual editor. I know developers aren't
 really being considered in this widgets evolution so just imagine if one
 of our non-technical clients decides they want to change the picture down
 the line? You didn't want them to have to deal with code if they didn't
 want to but you're going to force them to if they want pictures (which can
 be confusing as hell to them)

 The point is this is either too much or not enough. So for now I've
 switched begrudgingly back to using the Black Studio plugin (which works
 great no knocking their work, just preferred to use the built in)
