Modern Content Editor Web Part
It would be nice to have the option to place a web part on a modern page and add HTML to it. We don't always want to jump to SPFx for something simple. It would help add some flexibility to the modern pages.

Thank you for the feedback. Creating a Modern Content Editor Web part is not in our plans right now

I really don't understand why this isn't available? To be able to create a small table in HTML was such a handy thing to do in classic pages? You can make a table in a text editor but it's not very flexible at all!

I just discovered this today. This is a huge issue! What is the replacement aside from using another framework (React)? We want to avoid going to these extremes unnecessarily.

If it is not in the plans right now then what has Microsoft replaced it with? I am finding that all the good features in SharePoint are being removed by Microsoft as the New Experience is being developed. It does seem that SharePoint is going backwards.

Rather humorous that the Script Editor and Content Editor web parts have been removed. Legally, I don't know if that is something they should have done, because from a product standpoint, most of us worked with and implemented those web parts previously and the product obviously contained them. With the release of this new type of experience, the web parts are missing, and so the functionality we have been paying for is no longer available. Bet that could be found to be a breach of contract, since a lot of work has had to be thrown away and redone just due to the arrogance of Microsoft engineers.

Although a bit extreme, you could use a React Content Query Web Part to insert custom script and CSS like many used CEWPs for in the past. We are using this on our site, and in some cases I inject CSS for OOB web parts to modify where this is otherwise not possible.

Please add the Modern Script Editor as built-in function, it is very clumsy without this feature in Modern Team Site.

Taking out the "Script Editor" webpart was a huge step back for sharepoint. After learning SPFx I realized it is a very complicated and still kinda limited tool.

Yes please add that, the lack of that Webpart is stopping us right now from creating customized modern pages

Please bring back this Webpart. It was very usefull in the past. There is no good or even a better replacement for this in office 365.
Normally functionality should be extended instead of cutting off.Please provide a webpart to bring some JavaScript and HTML to modern pages

CEWP and SEWP are absolutely necessary for SPO deployment in the Enterprise.

I will not be using modern pages until CEWP or other OOB method for implementing HTML/CSS/JS is made available.

Pleeeeese! It's the most common, practical, useful and logical component found in any noteworthy CMS... we are all beholden to shape of the cookie you've cut, now let us add a few sprinkles!

Don't make SP users' life harder and give back our CEWP! :)

It can't be said enough, and everyone has said it...add the SEWP and CEWP capabilities back! I need the autonomy to brand and funtionalize my site collection.

It was nice to be able to add a Content Editor Webpart to a list or library to add information about this. Why was this taken away? It doesn't appear to be available anywhere even on a Wiki Page.

This is just awful. Microsoft released a new update that is causing a problem for our user and I cannot fix it thanks to this being disabled.

I used to go to the link - <site>/_catalogs/wp/Forms/AllItems.aspx and add the CEWP or Chart webpart but now despite having SCA access, it says access denied when using modern site.
