Cargo-cult AssetDatabase scripts plague our Unity projects. You need to STOP killing our Unity project's performance in the editor!

I'll walk you through some real-world examples of bad editor asset scripting found on GitHub that is unfortunately very widespread. I did not have to search for long. About half of the code snippets I reviewed revealed something nasty, and a couple were very, very, very dirty. So dirty, they wouldn't even be allowed on CornHub.

Try CodeSmile AssetDatabase if you prefer to work with a usable, practical, developer-friendly AssetDatabase API:
