1.) This editor copied PHP from one plugin to another without me knowing. Totally overwrote the code of one of my plugin files without me knowing! All of a sudden my plugin menu started registering two plugins with the same name, and I looked, and one, the contents of the main file had been copied over from a totally different plugin!

2.) This cost me almost 8 hours of troubleshooting because it defaults to silently removing version numbers from theme CSS files, which I use in my theme. Made it impossible to update the css on my site without manually clearing my browser cache every single time. I lost a whole night on this!

3.) Not that big a deal, but nice idea to have a themeable editor but not if you can’t preview the themes and have to keep tediously flipping between tabs to see what they look like. Also not if mosty of them are pretty ugly.
