Brackets Reviews & Product Details

It allows me to edit small scripts on python, bash and the eventual odd out in other language and configuration files without adding any clutter. The interface is really clean and easy on my eyes and combined with a good search function it allows me to focus on what I need to do easily. I was not a big fan at first, but my eyes really appreciate that it causes less strain after working on the screen for long hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I can find only applies if you have a low spec machine, it is quite resource hungry compared with other text applications, specially when you open a file several thousands lines long, but as long as you have at least 8GB ram it should work perfectly.

The Live Preview system removes the need to continuously upload and test to see the effects of code changes. The Plugin ecosystem makes customization a snap and provides tools for just about any development need. Solid UX design is a pleasure, and the standards-compliance is a huge benefit. Best of all, it is somehow free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe that a split-screen view would be a welcome addition. Honestly, there's never been something I tried to do with Brackets that I couldn't, either natively or through a community plugin. Another nice feature might be to be able to have multiple projects at once in the left-hand menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Free, open-source, and great in almost every aspect, when I started in web development Dreamweaver was king, now it has its niche appeal but for most of us it was time to move on, so when Adobe released Brackets it just feel natural for me to do the change to it and so I did it keeps the Quick edit feature from Dreamweaver and it feels really natural when editing CSS and it's also very light at the same time.

I'm a firefox user and the Live Preview is bound to Chrome and that is ok but it would be even better if it also supported safari and firefox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The live preview is truly helpful. A great advantage comparing to other apps. Also, it is a lightweight app. It's easy to install. Easy to setup and there are tons of add-ons that make the work even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The live preview only works in Google Chrome. Sometimes I want to use it with other browsers and It is not possible. I need to open the files manually from my computer. They could improve this feature a little bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets was the third program I used for development. Before it I used Coda and then Dreamweaver to code Basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Out of all three, I will still go to brackets when I need to code. It is by far the simplest and easiest to use. Along with ease of use, Brackets has always been the fastest program to use, never slowing down or causing trouble when working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets helps me develop websites with ease and offers everything I need, I have no complaints about Brackets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets is a very light text editor with a modern appearance, which seems relevant to me, since it is not clogged with unnecessary features. It is very comfortable to work and I can change select different themes, from bright to dark. I also like the fact that you have an option to run the program without plugins. In addition, it has a function to show errors in the code. On the other hand, it has a live view function that is very useful for web developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike other editors, it is completely free and compatible with all operating systems. I have no complaints with the Brackets functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program is free and fast. Renders your html pages in a live view, has syntax coloring, and lots of free extensions that you can access right from the program itself Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The live preview only renders in Google Chrome, which is one of the best browsers for sure, but you have to manually open your pages in other browsers to test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets makes my going through a copied source code a breeze with color coding and other formatting options when I need to hash out something quickly. It goes very easy on resources, starts up fast. Brackets has a good base of plugin contributors, so you can add and remove plugins as needed, or you can write your own and share it with the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I have not been able to figure out a quick shortcut like CTRL+K, CTRL+D to quickly indent the code for easier reading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the GUI themes can be customized, since it is possible to install themes created by third parties that normally give a better appearance than the themes of the software itself. Supports syntax highlighting and linting for a wide variety of programming languages. I also like that plugins can be installed to improve the code environment like a taskbar or a sidebar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets is a very well developed editor with the best customization options that I have been able to test in a code editor. I have nothing negative to comment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, I learnt how to program with this program and I like it. After some time using Dreamweaver, this program is much easier and more convenient to me. What I like is the css/html side-by-side function and the night mode, which makes coding easier for my eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program sometimes has problems with text scaling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets is a friendly editor that includes great capabilities through totally free and open source plugins. It is really easy to use and configure. One of the most relevant functions is that it can display code and parameter hints. Another of its strengths is the extensive theme options for interface customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I have had problems with saving files when they are stored on the main disk, since Brackets apparently does not have the permissions to overwrite the files, so I have to save them in a different location and then replace it with the old one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets is a simple and elegant editor. What I like the most is that it supports several programming languages. It has several very useful developer functions like Autoprefixer, which automatically adds prefixes to CSS properties. It is also possible to integrate eqFTP, to directly transfer files from the computer to the web servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have never had any issues with Brackets. He is currently my favorite editor to develop software in any programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets is very easy to use Code editor.

It has very clean user interface .

fonts are very prominent and stylish.

It is highly beginner friendly.

the best feature is its live preview. User can Code interactively.

User can code and see preview simultaneously which makes it best among others.

it is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Live preview lags sometimes. it gets stopped then you have it close it and re open it to make it start

again.

2. Doesn't indicates start and end of a div.

3 .You cannot change language for syntax highlight , you need to save file with respective extension

then syntax will highlight and auto completion works unlike other code editors . this is the biggest

flaw in the brackets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With real time virtualization or live preview of the website, you get immersed and feel attached to what you’re working on. This feature sets Brackets apart from other editors.

What’s more, the ability to search for extension without having to download and add the plugins again is a plus for Brackets. Additionally, it supports multiple languages which is a great deal for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides being an advantage, the live preview at times deliberately fails and this can frustrate you. Besides, you cannot use it to read it the backend connections which therefore limits its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets is a simplistic piece of software that you can build/edit or go through existing website code and change as you need and you can preview before saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only dislike is when you accident open a folder containing more than one website as it crashes the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most useful feature is the Live Preview feature , it opens in a chrome window showing the current page. Live editing which impacts the current page without manually refresh the browser.Hovering over a color declaration in CSS instantly shows the swatch of that color. The most recent version of Brackets also supports server side PHP coding through the integration of a PHP server like XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP or any other local web server. It also supports SASS and LESS pre-processors.

There are many third-party extensions which can be install/unstall by the built-in Extension Manager. It has also built-in JSLint support for javascript coding. Overall there are clearly many possibilities for front-end developments. Moreover it is an open source product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is somewhat a bit slow and the updater in Brackets may give sometime an error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets is an editor that meets my needs as a developer. Its interface is very customizable, I like the fact that external themes can be installed. It has thousands of extensions that can be downloaded through the same application. Another advantage of using Brackets is their function to predict words, which is very useful to me when programming. Also, it integrates with Git easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only inconvenience I can think of is that this software requires a considerable amount of memory to run without slowing down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets é um editor de texto muito útil. O que eu mais gosto nisto é a sua estrutura para detectar erros de código. Por outro lado, para melhorar a interface, é um programa personalizável com bons temas. Tem um excelente método para verificar a sintaxe, entre outras coisas. Além disso, projetos grandes ou pequenos podem ser realizados por este software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Normalmente o editor é preguiçoso. Em comparação com outros editores como o Notepad + + que começam rápido, pode demorar mais de um minuto para iniciar a aplicação. Mas, se você estiver rodando em um computador com poucos recursos, às vezes ele pode ser fechado sem aviso, já que a memória não o suporta. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Live updates preview is a lovely feature implmenetd by brackets and which I use a lot. Sometimes I actually wonder why other text editors like sublime text and atom never thought of implementing the feature before. It allows you to see in real time the changes you've made to your file on the browser without manually click reload or hitting 'Ctlr + R' / F5 all the time.

There is also another feature called Quick Edit that allows you to style a tag within the html file without having to switch over to the css file. This is also accompanied with incredible support for css processors like SASS and LESS. Most front end developers and even backend developers who are looking to make a quick UI for their application prefer to use preprocessors instead of plain old css to create styles.

Because it is built by html5 and javascript and bundled using electronJS, Brackets is easily hackable to any front end developer and hence can be easily extended to support more functionality than it was intended for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The problem with most desktop applications built using electronjs is that the memory management on them is really poor and brackets is no exception to this common phenomenon. To make matters worse, Adobe, who are the makers of Brackets, are famous for making applications that are memory intensive and which are not kind to lowly specified devices. Brackets in particular has an extended load time and can sometimes get buggy when running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets is text editor that prioritises user interface designs and the technologies used in that regard. I believe this is because it's parent company, Adobe, is primarily known for design tools.

One of its amazin features is preview on hover where when you hover on color names or hexcodes, you get a preview of what the colour looks like without having to switch back to the browser to confirm. This feature also applies to images where when you hover over an image path within your html or css code, you get a preview of the image so you are certain that you've correctly linked the image.

Still on previews, Brackets has a standout Live Preview feature that allows you to see all the changes you've made to your code on the fly on the browser without constantly having to reload the browser. This was one of the features that attracted me to it in my earlier days when I still didn't know how to create my own live server. This also goes to speak to its friendliness to beginner devs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In line with my title, Brackets is not very dependable for working on backends and server side languages. In its earlier days, php, for instance, did not Get any syntax representation and it appeared as normal text. Now even though that has changes over time, support for such alnguages including ruby and python is still merely limited to syntax highlights only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion what sets Brackets apart from most of the other text editors is the Live Preview feature where you only have to click the button and your files get served on your browser (uses a chrome instance) while mimicking server features so that you don't have to worry that there will be a difference when your site goes live.

There is also a readily accessible extensions manager that can be used to access the plugins page so as to get more functionailty into the code editor.

It supports not just dragging and dropping of text but even multiline and rectangular selection and editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Live Preview may be a very outstanding feature but it is very limited in functionality. It can't configure and read the backend language files such as php together with database connections. This makes Brackets only ideal for front-end development and very annoying to use to develop the backend for web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets has changed the way I code. I love that it has a live preview function where I can view the changes as I code! It supports a wide variety of languages and also has a very good library of extensions such as prefixer that will go through the code and auto prefix any CSS selectors. I like the ability to have a split-screen so I can easily work on the CSS and the actual code at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the Live preview fails or I have to refresh the live preview in order to see some changes. This doesn't happen very often, but it can be annoying. I also would like to see a few different views instead of just horizontal and vertical split-screen. It would be nice if Brackets was able to have 3 or 4 window views.
