 forth, not add a shortcut to ease the pain.
 Excellent point! Here are a few reasons I often switch ...

 • To reposition shortcoded or oEmbedded content. Although images can
 easily be repositioned by dragging, captioned images, galleries, youtube
 videos, etc. cannot be easily repositioned by dragging. Hmmm ... just
 realized cut/paste for these elements works swimmingly on the Visual
 editor – a welcome revelation! For some reason, I was assuming I had to go
 to the text editor to make this happen.
 • To add a custom classes to elements
 • To see how the HTML is stacking up.

 Honestly, the first one was the major issue for me, but seems to be a non-
 issue now. I think I was misled by knowing I couldn't drag those elements.
