In fact txp is one of the few programs I know that you can maintain a site without the need of any other software.
Maintain, yes. Backup and/or keep local and live sites in sync, no: files and images need to be copied back and forth somehow (FTP).
However I agree that keeping the raw CSS part of the Styles tab has its uses (not that I currently use it).
Code is topiary

Re: Remove CSS Editor
I use the built in css editor all the time in conjunction with it’s all text and BBedit.
So +1 on keeping the plain css editor around.

I guess that once the particular editor departs (I know I am making assumptions here:), there’ll be a plugin (or plugin requests) for cases like yours:)

+1 on removal, although I doubt that it can modify CSS (in the database) just by opening it.
It removes /* and */ type comments which is not too bad if they are just comments but if you are using something like the “clearfix” styling which requires that certain lines be hidden from Macs you will find it is completely fcuk’d.
And yes, I do want the raw CSS editing retained. I don’t have any use for an external CSS editor or pretty colours or any other styling aid. I am better than any styling aid. I’ve been at this stuff for years so why waste useful RAM by having 2 or more applications open to do a single task? Of course I do realise that these aids are useful whilst you are learning but after that they are a total waste of space. Just my personal opinion you understand. ;)
And should there be anyone out there who does like and use the CSS Editor it could remain as an either/or choice in Preferences but remove the option to change from the Styles tab.

You’ve probably never tried CSSEdit then ;-)

Re: Remove CSS Editor
I have Martin, indeed I’ve probably tried them all over the years, my favourite being HTMLPad which requires purchasing, but I use that for other code types and for CSS for applications that don’t have Textpattern’s wonderful facilities. I haven’t used a CSS editor with Textpattern in absolutely ages.

Fair enough.
I’ve tried quite a few myself, but I really appreciate CSSEdit’s features. I’ve made plenty of small syntax mistakes hand-coding CSS in the past, and enjoy the added layer of safety.
But as you say, it’s all individual.

Re: Remove CSS Editor
All these CSS editors fail to manage the mountain of bugs of Internet Explorer ;-)), so none of them is more useful than a second …
