 I'm not sure I agree.  I think removing the files to disable TinyMCE is
 not one of the more elegant solutions to achieve this.

 One line of code in a plugin or a themes functions.php can effectively
 disable TinyMCE without modifying the core code by way of removing files.

 {{{
 add_filter ( 'user_can_richedit' , create_function ( '$a' , 'return
 false;' ) );
 }}}

 I have actually written a plugin called 'Easy Disable Visual Editor' which
 has been in the wp.org repos for some time now that achieves this with
 little to no effort.  Albeit this does not remove the option from showing
 in the users profile.  Perhaps a filter can be added to make this a more
 seamless global disabling.  I still, in no way, agree that removing the
 files is the way to go to disable TinyMCE.
