Pros
Pro Perfect HTML, CSS and JS
It is definitely optimized for html. css and javascript, but it is completely fine for every language.
Pro Can be hacked by any front-end developer
The editor is built using html, css and javascript making it extendable by any front-end developer.
Pro Support for Adobe PSD content
Default extension allows extraction of PSD resources, such as images and styles. Good integration for placing extracted resources into source.
Pro Built-in browser live-updating
Brackets will automatically refresh the browser and load the latest saved version of a file open in the browser. Works with php as well. Editing a css will even highlight the tag that's currently worked on. It only works with Chrome though.
Pro Popup previews
Hovering over colors hex codes or image paths will pop up previews of corresponding colors and images.
Pro Can style a tag without switching over to the stylesheet
A feature called quick edit allows selecting a tag in, for example, an html file and edit the associated style without switching over to the css document. It also supports SASS and LESS pre-processors.
Cons
Con Still missing some elementary text editor commands
Some gaps have to be filled by plugins, while these features should be built in.
For example:
- Jump to matching brace (bracket / parenthesis);
- Gutter selection of lines;
- Recall previous searches / replacements;
- Autofill of search field with text under caret (text has to be selected);
- Show whitespace / end of lines / indentation guides / right margin;
- Selection to upper / lower case;
and some more.
Con Made using Javascript and HTML
Compared to making a program in a lower-level language, creating one as you would create a website does make it easier. When installed however, it requires running its own web browser in the background, using many more resources and making it slower to start.
