gmc not safe to use?

For the last several versions of SuSE, at least the last year, there has always been a warning regarding the original GNOME file manager, gmc. When you install it, it says not to use it as root and to even be wary of it as a user. I've used mostly KDE over the years, but gmc is now at version 4.5.55. Is it still unstable and unsafe?
