"One benefit of a delayed release: template highlighting will now be controlled by the existing 'syntax highlighting' preference when it releases next week."

Does that mean that the editor can be disabled entirely or only the syntax highlighting will be removed?

It seems like a good idea, for those huge templates  that probably take a minute to fully render. On the other hand having 6 different  editors (source + visual) as noted before is a really bad practice.

It is not that hard to disable all options people don't like, but still keep the ace editor as the default one.
