 * Does this plugin provides the ability to write redirections directly to the .
   htaccess file? Or an option to export a file with all the redirects to manually
   upload to the .htaccess file? I need to do many redirects and prefer to avoid
   doing it using PHP.

 * The plugin does not have any functionality to edit .htaccess or export for use
   in .htaccess. It uses PHP and WordPress to redirect any URLs set up for redirection(
   using wp_redirect() and header() functions).
 * Warm regards,

 * That’s a very key feature that would be of great use to those switching domains.
   Spent quite some time redirecting in your plugin only to read that you’re doing
   redirects another way. When I export, it doesn’t even export all of my redirects.
   This is quite flawed.

 * Weslinda –
    The plugin is intended to be quick and easy for people to add and
   remove redirects without editing the .htaccess file. In many cases, plugins do
   not have access to write to the .htaccess file (and in some instances, there 
   is none – either for no permalinks or nginx installs).
 * There are many ways to redirect the browser and this has always been a way the
   plugin does it, by using WordPress’ wp_redirect functionality or php header. 
   Without that, it can be very complex and convoluted for users to try to figure
   out what pattern or regex to use for an .htaccess redirect. Not to mention, when
   something goes wrong, trying to figure out what is happening can be a nightmare
   for someone without that experience.
 * The plugin is not meant to be a cure all – it is meant to be a simple way for
   users to add redirects – and that is what it does. As of version 4.3 of WordPress,
   there is still no core way to add them without a plugin.
 * The export process will export Quick Redirects. The only way to export Individual
   Redirects is via the normal post export as meta data.
 * Regards,
    Don
