I always us "Save As" on edited versions.
But still, if you haven't done your editing on layers, and you decide you don't like some aspect of the editing, you have to go back to the original file and start over.

As an old computer guy (since 1965) I always make a copy of any file on a separate drive before editing. With today's inexpensive, and very large portable USB3 drives, this is now a very practical way to protect your valuable data (images.)
A program may not destroy original files, unless some hardware or software problem occurs while running that program.
For $100-$150 you get really inexpensive protection.
We should have a backup copy of anything valuable before working on it.

I would anyway. And if using layers, as long as you don't collapse the layers (This is in PSE) they are still editable. However the question was if a program in non-destructive. If you are using Save As and create a new file, the original is not destroyed or changed no matter what the program.
