How safe is it to use Drush?

Question

Since this is a beta-1 release, Is there anything which I should especially be worried about?

Answer 1

I've used it for a long time and know several others that have done so without any problems. So I wouldn't be worried if I were you. But I haven't tested all the stuff like SQL queries and other db stuff you can do with drush. But it's really good for downloading modules, disabling/enabling modules, clearing cache and other stuff like that, that you tend to do a lot when developing.

Answer 2

Drush is awesome. It does it's job well. The only thing to be wary of are things like:

• Have you modified any contrib modules yourself?
• "Stable" new releases may contain bug(s) the maintainer did not
  catch.

But Drush does provide a backup of contrib modules to /backups.
