I have been using brackets for more than 1 year. I am not a programmer but I need to coding, related to my company works. At first, it was very difficult for me to edit my code in wordpad or notepad. After all I decided to find a solution for my problem. I searched over the internet and found brackets. I wondered as it is a free tool!

What do you like best about Brackets?

The most helpful feature that I like the most is how it goes to the specific declaration of function if you click the call of the functions. Also, almost unlimited extensions play a crucial role in keywords for development. The folder system in the sidebar helps stick to the project. Its search for specific words from the whole folder feature is astonishing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

There is nothing to dislike about this. I have been using it for a long time and it's doing its job perfectly. Although, the only thing that I faced was understanding the right extension for the right development environment. Still, this is on me not a reason to dislike.

What problems is Brackets solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's solving almost all the issues I faced when I was working with other editors. Like Visual Studio, it's not bad but Brackets is very light if we compare both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Brackets?

Brackets satisfies my development needs, and It is designated straightforwardly by Web architects and front-end engineers. Tools are integrated into the editor, that makes design in the browser simple to perform. Brackets centers around designers utilizing Javascript, CSS and HTML.

Fast Edit, for instance, one of the program's primary highlights, permits inline altering of CSS. Place a cursor over an ID and press a few keys, and you'll

have the option to see all of the CSS selectors with that ID in an inline window. It's much cleaner and neater than managing pop-ups. Live Preview,

one more of the program's champion elements, allows you to see changes made in CSS and HTML quickly on the screen. What's more Brackets likewise puts a solid accentuation on providing preprocessor support. Fast Edit and Live Highlight work with LESS and SCSS files which Adobe claims makes them more straightforward to work with. It's a cycle considerably less cordial than the straightforward customization and topic decisions presented by other message

editors however Brackets really does likewise give augmentations that any designer can make. The most famous incorporate Emmet, a fast HTML and CSS work process, which designs Javascript, HTML, and CSS documents, and record symbols for Brackets' document tree. There's additionally an augmentation for GitHub.

Reconciliation and negative deficiency of topics, including that attempt to imitate Dreamweaver. Brackets has a lot of adaptabilities, and Adobe helps designers to design extensions and get everything rolling.

Website specialists can utilize Brackets cheerfully in the information that they're involving a content manager worked in light of their necessities.

They know that their need to see the after effect of their altering has been thought of, and they don't need to venture around choices.

It also includes a manager for designers utilizing dialects that they needn't bother with. It's an exceptionally valuable and free instrument for

composing HTML, Javascript, and CSS.

PROs

A rich library of expansions made by different designers.

Upheld by a significant programming organization.

Looks great on the screen, you'll see that Brackets has been made for you.

Various addons you can use to improve usefulness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

Brackets is focused on visual designers and front-end engineers. On the off chance that you're hoping to compose any other code, you'll think that it is

restricted and pointless. Be that as it may, if you're a website designer worried about making things a solid accentuation on visual highlights.

Your in luck.

CONs

Restricted on the off chance that you're not a designer.

Brackets is still in early development stages.

Ocassionally you might run into the odd bug once in awhile.

Addons at some point require direct assignment to work correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brackets:
