Comment (by knutsp):

 What will really make users nervous is calling it "code".

 In my experience users who are not able to edit html that is already in
 the text editor, they go to the visual.

 I advice users who only want to enter text, when starting a new post or
 page, to use the text editor not to get disturbed and tempted to add
 "sugar" at the same time. Then they go to the visual to mark up, like
 highlighting, subheadings and images.

 It is a textarea (the html tag encapsulation it). The mime type for a file
 containing either plain text and/or html markup is `text/html`. Not
 "code". Code does not equal html. There are many forms of code that does
 not belong in there. And it is not a real code editor, in any coding
 language, not even html, as those have other features. The Customizer has
 a code editor, specifically for CSS.

 Only alternative to text is "basic". Text is the best. Do not change what
 works.
