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.

+1 to remove CSS (for dummies) Editor application from core.
+1 to continue to maintain a site without the need of any other software.

Re: Remove CSS Editor
+1 to remove the CSS-Editor application – I never used it and really only viewed it once.
+1 for keeping internal CSS maintainment

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.

Re: Remove CSS Editor
I think, we did vote on this very same subject before,… with more or less the same result ;-)
