 Hi
 I am a wordpress developer and I have made about 200+ websites on
 wordpress platform.

 Most of my clients are bloggers whose site uses sidebar text widgets for
 various functions such as html sign up box and lot more.

 The introduction of visual editor in text widget is messing up all the
 custom html code.

 I request to restore the text widget back to its original version and
 introduce a separate widget called rich text widget.

 Restoration of text widget is important because one cannot afford to
 migrate the text widgets incase if text widget is not restored to original
 version.
