Keep option for old card description editor

I'm a senior software engineer at a large company, and my entire team has loved Trello from the beginning.


However, my entire team and I also unanimously hate the new WYSIWYG card editor.
As programmers we often store bits of code in the description, as well as stack traces, and other weird bits of text.

I know with WYSIWYG you can add a code block, but we'd all rather turn off ["WYSIWYG Editing"](http://trello.com/labs).
It seems like this option's getting removed:

Please keep this option. My team and I need it badly.

YEEESSSS!! ^^^^ ALL OF THE ABOVE!!! Begging to leave the option to keep syntax/markdown. It is implemented in all of my business SOPs (of which I JUST completed). I am not looking to re-do all of them!

I do see now that there is an option to save your code this way, it just requires a few more steps:

Save code on trello.PNG

Choose "Display code with Syntax highlight syntax highlighting"

Is there a safe workaround for this yet?

+1 from me

Anyway, looks like the decision has already been made to not keep the old markdown editor: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-discussions/Looks-like-on-August-15-we-ll-all-be-forced-into-the-WYSIWYG/m-p/2755072 :-/
