Comment(by janeforshort):

 We're not taking out file editing, full stop. Matt has said that editing
 your templates should as pleasant an experience in WordPress as editing
 your text. Removing the file editor and forcing everyone back to using FTP
 would be a major step backwards. If someone is that much at risk of having
 passwords stolen and site overtaken, then they probably shouldn't be an
 admin. What's to stop someone from stealing their FTP password too,
 anyway? The whole point of being an admin is that you can do everything.
