Comment (by adriannees):

 I don't disagree that separate widgets are useful HOWEVER I'm currently in
 a project where I need to add an image to a text widget because the client
 made a last minute change request and I don't want to nor feel it should
 be necessary to completely re-configure the widget area and fiddle with
 all of the media queries and styling just to be able to add an image
 widget NEXT to the text. This widget is now more annoying than helpful
 because it's a bastard child of both a wysiwyg and a text widget.

 > That being said, the ability to embed media inside of a Text widget
 should also probably facilitated.
