I've been using Dreamweaver to edit files in my wp-content folder directly on the server folder which I have access to via Windows Explorer as a drive. (not using an FTP)
Today my Site crashed immediately after saving a .css file in a plugin I had been working on.
Not only was a "cowboy coding" a super bad practice but the plugin was active on only a single site within my multisite so I expected that if it was to cause a problem I'd just delete the plugin.
Can someone clarify if editing directly on the server can crash MySQL?
Furthermore can Dreamweaver crash a server?
It's not a recommended editor but I was using Code view at the time.

Any reason why Dreamweaver is a bad editor to use?
