 The Custom HTML block currently displays the Preview by default. This has
 major drawbacks in the following areas:

 (1) Searchability – Users can no longer Ctrl+F/Cmd+F on the Editor page to
 search through all of the Custom HTML blocks at once; instead, users are
 made to click on one Custom HTML block at a time.
 (2) Efficiency – Users are made to click on the Custom HTML block multiple
 times before being able to edit the code.
 (3) Visual Experience – Many HTML tags do not render accurately in
 Preview, making it useless as a way to check whether the code renders
 correctly.

 In sum, please bring back the old Custom HTML block where the HTML code
 was displayed by default, or at least please give users the ability to
 choose which view they want as their default.
