When I tested it, it changed code even with the setting set. Yes, it
was a deal killer. That, and the fact that it does not use, and they
have no plans to implement SSH. I have all of my servers using that
only, no FTP.

I work with Ultra-Edit[1], when I hit the save button in a file I'm
working on direct from the server, it's saved direct to the server,
using SSH.

[1] Much like Crimson Editor, but not free. Crimson doesn't do SSH
either.
