 As a person who began tinkering with her WordPress site via the theme and
 plugin file editors, I am not keen to get rid of them entirely. However, I
 think we could also do some small amount of education for our users. To
 that end, I suggest that on a per-user basis, a prompt be shown warning
 them of the dangers and suggesting alternative methods / linking to more
 documentation, for both the theme and plugin file editors. If they choose
 to continue, that prompt should not be shown again for that given editor.
