Question
Why is it not recommended to modify the Magento 2 core files?
I'm guessing that when Magento 2 updates it replaces those modified files with the new files so it would be a best practice to create a extension/plugin instead?
Thanks
Solution
Definitively, in any framework it is a bad idea to modify core files. There is almost always some way to override native code. There are many reasons, the two main being:
- The risk to create side-effects on other modules
- The risk to see your modification wiped out when you update the framework
