Pros

Cons
Con Supports only web languages by default <but>
Brackets is built for web development and that's where it excels at out of the box. Other languages that have a CodeMirror mode can be added as well.
<and language support plugins can be added>
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.

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con Nearly there, but not quite yet
Like other Con said, some expected features of a code editor are not present as yet, overall I view the product positively and wanted to give a pro, but the main Con is some basic features are not there, meaning the product overall is not quite there yet. I do like what it does have though
