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.

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