"The Text Editor We Need"
What do you like best about Brackets?

Brackets provide a lot of suggestions while writing codes, and it supports all types of programming languages. While we type the code, it shows suggestions and corrections that make it easy for developers to write efficient codes. It doesn't need any previous experience to use its tools and features. Even a beginner can quickly get it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

Till now, I'm very much satisfied with brackets support, and they are providing timely updates for improving user experience. In the past few years, they improved a lot, and as a user, I'm satisfied with their support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, intuitive code editor"
What do you like best about Brackets?

One of the most appealing features of Brackets is its clean, minimalistic interface. The result is more coding "real estate" within the program interface and less distraction from UI elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

So far, I can't pinpoint anything specific that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great and handy as a Tool"
What do you like best about Brackets?

The visual appeal of the product is much more than just an editor.Offering just the right amount of help required rather than nagging on with features available.

Features like Live Preview, Quick Edit, Quick View, Quick Docs and Code Hints for JavaScript, HTML and CSS. These features should help us to navigate, inspect and find the information we need at your fingertips Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

Serves the purpose of being a Web Development editor best, but for a person working on other languages this could not be a much sought after factor.

Adding plugins and customisations could be easier on the editor which would be an addon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of Brackets"
What do you like best about Brackets?

It has a very User-Friendly interface making it easy for users to navigate different things.

One of its features, which I appreciate the most is its Live preview feature which many other IDE's fail to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

It has a long boot-up time which leaves a bad impression on the user working on it.

It does not have a lot of plugins integration which is quite a setback.

It sometimes lags when working on large projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Web Development Rookie"
What do you like best about Brackets?

The most useful feature and what I liked best was the ability to quickly render the HTML code and open the webpage for it in a browser of my choosing. Also, I liked that I can open the webpage side to side to my code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

I personally dislike the childish look of it. I first used it to teach elementary level kids HTML and CSS because the interface is very easy to work with but might be too simple for a professional developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brackets is a brilliant tool for HTML Emails"
What do you like best about Brackets?

I like how it reveals when my html code is broken using colour coded type and the live previews that show how it will be seen to a customer. The preview windows are also responsive as they use Chrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

It would be great to get hints of why my code is broken, sometimes it highlights it as red but it could potentially give hints as to what would fix that particular bit of html. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Brackets is easy to use and works really well."
What do you like best about Brackets?

Brackets is just plain easy to use. It does what it was made to do, and it does it really well. Really customizable, easy to learn, and good online resources in case you have any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

It can be easy to get carried away with customizations. Rather than keeping the program light and quick, it can be easy to download too many plugins and extensions. There are so many to choose from, it's a good idea to try a few different ones, but just remember to clean out the ones you don't end up using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
