 * I’ve been testing out the code editor field, but as far as I can tell it’s identical
   to a simple text field. Is this the correct behavior or am I missing something?
 * I was expecting to perhaps see things like syntax highlighting, linting, or even
   just line numbers.

 * Hey.
 * A long time ago Gutenberg team removed the CodeEditor component and we changed
   it to a simple text editor. As it is not so popular control, it was not changed.
   I have added a task to improve this control, most probably in future updates,
   it will be improved.
