Yes, it’s very handy to have, but the editor can go.

Re: Remove CSS Editor
+1 from me too. I had to open up a site to remind myself what it looked like.
Incidentally, I got this error:
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /path/to/www.mysite.com/web/content/textpattern/include/txp_css.php on line 253

Re: Remove CSS Editor
+1 for me too, never used the CSS editor.
I only work with raw CSS.

Jeez, there’s one in every crowd. And I’m starting to be convinced that they’re all Canadian. Sorry but you can only have one.

Re: Remove CSS Editor
Okay, this begs the question to me: What’s the benefit to using any of the “internal” CSS instead of an external CSS file?
I’ve never understood why you’d want to use CSS from the DB. You can’t use tools like CSSEdit (http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/) to easily manage your CSS if it’s buried in the DB somewhere.

Perhaps there are only a few people who need to code with a “machine” like CSSEdit ?

Re: Remove CSS Editor
+1 to remove CSS Editor application from core.
+1 to remove base64 encoding of CSS, which Stef said would reduce Textpattern’s footprint to the size of a postage stamp.

Re: Remove CSS Editor
^^ yes, +1 on removing the unnecessary base64 encoding as well, provided upgrades are handled properly (shouldn’t be too hard).

For me, it’s not useful for regular site styles. However, for admin-plugins, it’s more convenient for the user to be able to edit a plugin’s CSS via Presentation>Style than having to muck around with the plugin’s source code.

For me it is because I can edit the css anywhere any time using just the browser without needing any ftp and/or other programs.
When moving an install, the internal css also helps as it is one less thing to worry about.
In fact I would vote for javascripts to be included in the db (can be done with a plugin at the moment) and rvm_css to be modified for them too:)
In fact txp is one of the few programs I know that you can maintain a site without the need of any other software.

Exactly, and I would like to see that continued.
