I use old version 2 for just this reason -- if there is even one stylesheet error, the formatting ALL displays as default. (I am not sure if newer versions 3 and 4 still behave this way.)

I'm reverted to using ADE 2 after a failed attempt to use ADE 3 -- it deregistered every second time I used it and never got to trying 4.5. However, ADE 3 did the same error in stylesheet is no stylesheet as ADE 2.
This is the main reason that using the W3C check became part of my standard workflow.

I ran into a couple of lovely ebooks where they had Amazon KF7/KF8 conditional code without the extra closing curly braces. And another couple where the stylesheet had no semi-colon on the last line of a style before the curly brace (which was fine) but then someone added a padding line to every paragraph related style so you now had two lines with no semi-colon in those styles. epubcheck and W3C both whinged about those errors.
