Brackets is a very simple and intuitive app for web development. I have utilized this in my early years of understanding web development. I have also used this to experiment with setting up different A/B tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Brackets does not offer any support for backend development. So you are only able to utilize web development and front end software development. This is clearly communicated though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great software for front end developers and designers"
5/5
What do you like best about Brackets?

The best thing according to developers is that they can easily do their creative things as it is the free text editor. You can easily refresh the code and check for changes. Easy to use, install, and learn. Add your choice of plugins for your work. I like the UI/UX of tool.

Another best thing that it is lightweight and makes your work more easier. I enjoyed working in this software as it is best and recommend text editor. One more cool thing is that it works for all operating systems such as Mac, Windows, and Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

I liked this software alot and have no such dislikes about it as no software it perfect and won't support everything. You have to compromise somewhere. I like to work in this software and have no such issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple yet great text editor that covers my needs"
5/5
What do you like best about Brackets?

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.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

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.

"Easy to use and light weight text editor"
5/5
What do you like best about Brackets?

The best thing about the bracket is it's free of cost, easy to install and setup. It is available for all operating systems like Linux, Mac, and Windows. It provides plugins contributors who improve the code environment, you can add and remove plugins of your choice. We don't need to run the code all the time we just want to refresh the browser the changes are reflected on the browser without doing the re-run of code with 'Ctrl + R' / F5 all the time.

What do you dislike about Brackets?

Sometimes some of the extensions have some problems. It supports only the chrome browser correctly. Sometimes we don't have a chrome browser in every environment so it's not possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
