However, on Unix boxes you can just symbolically link in whatever you like. The browser has a QFileSystemModel backend. For a large .rst project like the QGIS manual, it may not be much different than using a separate text editor. Having Plugin Editor embedded (installed) in QGIS offers the advantages of consistency of interface/tools and portability, useful for new plugin developers and teaching/seminar environments. There are many clever things you can do with it, but if you are already an experienced developer, you may find its features only occasionally useful compared with your current workflow.
