Well, that's not exactly the advice I'd like to hear. The online editor / plugin is only suitable for minor edits. If I'm doing a major site update, I have to do it in a desktop application. Of course, the online plugin puts more strain on the system's resources. The web often falls into error 500. Neither the hosting provider nor the site owner or the visitor is happy about this.
But if my desktop app "wants to fix" the link profile for PDF price lists, for example, that's a problem. When I have to explain to the client why I have fixed it 3 times and that I have slapped it when I do it for the fourth time, then it is also a problem. After all, if I want to keep the old version, I'll put a versioning plugin in WP or I'll just go to backups on hosting, where I have everything 14 days back. Despite the fact that cleaning up the site from unused files is also a nice job.
I'm just sorry, if I want to "rewrite" it, it's supposed to rewrite it and not make a mess of it.
