Thanks for sharing your code. Here's a simpler way without the loop. 😄

/**
 * Remove certain buttons from text editor and wp_editor() functions
 *
 * @return array
 */
function appthemes_editor_buttons( $qtInit ) {

  // available buttons
  // strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,more,close,dfw

  $remove = array( 'more', 'close' );

  // put comma separated buttons into array
  $buttons = explode( ',', $qtInit['buttons'] );

  // spit out the buttons to keep
  $buttons = array_diff( $buttons, $remove );

  // put back into comma separated list
  $qtInit['buttons'] = implode( ',', $buttons );

  return $qtInit;
}
add_filter( 'quicktags_settings', 'appthemes_editor_buttons' );

@cowgill Thanks for that!
