Prevents Drop Downs on Appearance>Widget from working
By 
I can't click on drop downs for widget areas or individual widgets after installing this. Deleted the plugin and the widget editing was back to normal.
Way better than default!

Syntax highlighting and auto close tags. Woot! Great job.
Better than core
By 
This plugin replaces the lost functionality that the updated Text widget took away and it ends up being better than the one coming into core in 4.8.1 by adding syntax highlighting and autocompletion.
Super useful and lightweight.

Syntax highlighting with auto closing tags is a big time saver and makes it much more pleasant to add HTML to widget areas.
