I'm curious to hear from people what situations beyond "some asshole left a harmful reply and deleting my post is the only way to make it go away," cause them to use delete and redraft instead of editing the original post. I'm sure there are good reasons, I just haven't encountered any yet myself...
There was a period when I was using Elk, where edits to alt text wouldn't persist, but in that case I edited the existing post with something other than Elk rather that delete and redraft.
