I only ever use the Live Edit mode. I don't trust my browser not to
crash, or my internet connection not to fail, between the time I make
the edit and the time I push save. Since there is no way to save data
locally, using the non-live mode makes you very vulnerable to data
loss.

I consider Live Edit mode to be much less error-prone, and thus less
harmful, than offline mode.

I note someone below saying Potlatch 2 will only have the offline
mode. Ugh. That's a real pity.
