More than one, I think...
But any design that requires you to edit files behind pcb's back, is bad.
I text-edit PCB files on every single board I do... arcs are the most
blatant example. Other things I do where it's easier to text edit
rather than to look up/create a command in PCB:
*connect vias to polygons as a workaround for not being able to
associate polys with a net, i.e. I search & replace '"found"' for
'"thermal(1x,2x),found"'.
*change multiple trace segments to a desired numerical width
*change clearances on multiple pins/pads to a desired numerical value
*change the min size of via holes or soldermask openings
(tented/cleared) when I've forgotten to change the defaults to my
projects requirements at the start
*create/modify footprints where a given numerical value is desired
(concurrently performing sanity-check in PCB)
