Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
The 1.x branch included a 3rd party files to achieve this. Ace Code Editor javascript library is in the module.
I don't like that approach since syntax highlighting can also be added using https://www.drupal.org/project/ace_editor or https://www.drupal.org/project/codemirror. Someone who wants that functionality probably wants it in several places. Someone who doesn't, doesn't want to keep turning it off every time they edit the CSS.

AlfTheCat CreditAttribution: AlfTheCat commented+1 for this, in my case I upgraded to the 2.x version which now has a plain text field and I'd love to have a visual editor back.
I still love this module though!!!

oresh CreditAttribution: oresh as a volunteer commentedI'll add add a config option for tuning it on, if ace_editor and code mirror and disabled.
Otherwise we'll show a message suggesting to activate those modules ;)

UPD: i'll start with updating the 7.1 with settings form for ace, and if everything works well, will port to 7.2
