Comment:

 Sorry, I am not as knowledgable as some here. The detailed technical info
 in this thread is useful, however I cannot see how or where this issue
 could be considered resolved. Perhaps my expectations are not realistic.
 Can someone please explain, in layman's terms, or for the average 'casual
 developer' who knows a little HTML and CSS, or for the newb who just wants
 to customize their pages:

 When I add some custom CSS in the HTML editor, then switch to the visual
 editor, then back to the HTML editor, sometimes my custom CSS is gone. (I
 cannot supply an example just now; we all know this happens.)

 I think we need a reality check: This does happen, and it should never
 happen. Period.

 If custom CSS is added in the HTML editor it should remain there. It
 should stick like glue, whether or not it functions properly. I appreciate
 that WP is free and there are myriad ways to get free support. However
 until this is fixed for good, without special plugins or workarounds, I
 really don't see how WordPress can be considered a stable world-class
 platform, or how I can recommend it to my clients. Just sayin'...

 I really wish to undertand this clearly, so thank you in advance for any
 add'l insight you can provide.
