"Solid code editor for web designers"

"Brackets at the ease."

The way that it helps to see how one's code works or looks over the internet. For eg., got to use it for web development and it would show up even a single code view over chrome.

Also, the UI it haa is very attractive and makes us to get the feel to work more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

It should show hints for the syntax errors or coding mistake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brackets - One of the best editors for developers"
What do you like best about Brackets?

This is one of the best editors I have ever used. Easy to install. Easy to setup. Suitable for HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Python as well as C,C++ and Java.

I use it mostly for developing web applications using PHP.

Moreover, the editor is completely free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

Brackets is just an editor and not a full fledged IDE. So you will have to try other options for building and executing code. However, extensions are available which can help you out.

The development of Brackets has been discontinued and new versions are not being released anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
