Yes, i know noone switching it - for me i switch it on one time and never 
touch again - my ok for usersettings.

same as above - usersettings

this can be useful. I remember the time with rte-problems i often used, also 
for manual entering links etc.
IMHO this switch should be everytime in the form under richtext-fields, or 
may be at the end of the form.
