You must be new. The Rich Text Editor allows you to add templates in very much the same way as Visual Editor. And the reason they've probably done this is that hardly anyone actually uses VE as the editor was glitchy and buggy for the longest time. It was also extremely laggy, and the ability to edit the Source Code was unintuitive, as the rich text editor allows highlights different types of code in different colours to make it easier.
