Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 I realize my opinion is minority (there was a very similar ticket about
 removing the editor entirely), but it really depends on the audience. The
 most sophisticated users tend to use SSH, and VI or Emacs. Moderately
 sophisticated users like and use the editor. Unsophisticated users who
 even try to use it are just asking for trouble. And WP.com users have
 absolutely no access to it. :-)

 So, it really goes down to "Why show them the gory stuff?" when we could
 stick to showing the sexy. wp-admin/options.php appears nowhere in the UI,
 and yet it's just as useful/useless.
