Brackets - HTML editor

#1 Post by webfork »

NOTE: Not posting to submission as I ran into a few issues while testing.

It's open source but built by Adobe so you can expect some of their programming styles and functions. Similar in some ways to Atom. Didn't see a lot here for what I need but might come back to it based on recommendations from a developer friend.

Testing the pre-release over at PA: https://portableapps.com/node/39337 specifically: https://github.com/sagiegurari/brackets ... /v1.13.0.1 ... looks portable but had a few issues:

* I got an update notice despite it being the same as the current version on Bracket's website 1.13: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/releases
* The program requires Google Chrome for it's live preview function, which isn't an option for me.
* Resource usage: hovers around 63 megs across 3 processes

On September 1, 2021, Adobe finished the support for Brackets. You can read more on the reasons at the old GitHub-Repository. Among others Adobe explained:
[...] If you would like to continue using, maintaining, and improving Brackets, you may fork the project [...]
And so they did! On December 1, 2021, the new project-maintainers published their first stable: Brackets 2.0.1 Release

For more information visit the oficial homepage at https://brackets.io/ or have a look at the GitHub-Project site at https://github.com/brackets-cont/brackets.

Good news. I've been doing a considerable amount of HTML work inside of Notepad++, but the complexity is starting to get out of hand. Might come back to Brackets now that it has some kind of ownership. Hopefully they have interest in a portable version and something that doesn't use Chrome for previews.

Also tried to make a go with Bluefish Editor (will post about that in the near future).

Would you recommend Brackets over VSCode for relatively basic HTML/CSS?

I was actually expecting Atom to come out front in this space but it seems like I keep hearing about VS Code / VSCodium over other similar tools.
