Comment (by MattyRob):

 Sorry for being a little late contributing this but the current approach
 and applied patches are a regression from current WordPress functionality.

 With the Visual Editor disabled at the moment there is still the option to
 apply styling via buttons including bold and italic styling, links, lists
 etc - I can provide screen shots if needed.

 With the current code and the Visual Editor disabled there is a very basic
 editor deployed still within what looks like the Gutenberg framework but
 without any tools to add styling as there were before.

 Currently the only way I have found to restore the old functionality is
 with the following code added to a plugin or functions.php file in the
 theme:
 `add_filter( 'use_block_editor_for_post', '__return_false' );`

 Can the oldnon-visual editor be restored more fully?
