    Yep, this is certainly why WordPress continues to advise users not to use the built-in theme and plugin editors when possible, provides configuration settings to still turn off the editors entirely (which this plugin respects), and encourages users to avoid assigning admin roles to accounts used on an everyday basis for publishing posts (the plugin and theme editors require admin privileges to be used).

    I’m curious what part of this plugin makes that any more dangerous than without this plugin installed. The editors are still available and this is still possible even without this plugin installed.

    For what it’s worth, there’s been some work in WordPress core last year for adding file revisions to the editors so you could potentially restore older working versions if necessary:

    I’m talking about the style sheet for the child theme – a style sheet I’ve created from scratch. I used to use Advanced Code Editor, but it doesn’t work so well in 3.8.X. I’ve never had a problem with it deleting an entire style sheet with the click of a button. Nor have I had the problem working in the original style sheet. Just with your plugin. I apologize that I can’t recall which key I hit. Once I figure it out, I’ll be happy to let you know.
