 > I have a question: I'm a bit puzzled why the addition of CodeMirror to
 the text editor was dropped in the end, as you wrote above?

 Please dee the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2017/10/22/code-editing-
 improvements-in-wordpress-4-9/ dev note], in particular this section:

 > Nevertheless, since there are still accessibility concerns we decided to
 not yet integrate CodeMirror in the post editor’s Text tab; as CodeMirror
 is enabled by default it could impede users of screen readers from
 performing the primary writing workflow upon upgrading to 4.9.
 Additionally, it doesn’t make sense to work on integrating CodeMirror in
 the post editor since it is being heavily revamped right now in Gutenberg;
 we should instead focus on integrating CodeMirror into Gutenberg itself.
