Is it possible to store the code in git or fossil or any vcs? Is there room for code review before deploying? I'm all for whatever editor people find useful, and for easier deployment, but at a glance this feels very similar to editing your cgi directly on the server. Maybe all the devs that shot themselves in the foot editing php over sftp are getting old, and it's time for a new generation to learn that fear?
