I agree 100%! There is often a time when text needs to be added to a map for instructional purposes, or just as a quick reference that is not a part of any of the connected data. This is heavily used in my organization and in my own consulting. We really need this option!
Completely agree with both of these points. The ability to add text on the Draw widget is a must - I've replaced an old version of a map which was on WAB but nearly every user has mentioned that you are unable to add text like on WAB. I'd also suggest having an arrow style (as on WAB widget) would be very useful still. Please, please look into getting these features added on EB!!
