Pros
Pro Intuitive and easy. Doesn't overload you with all sorts of confusing options like VSCode
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. This works with php as well. Editing a CSS will even highlight the tag that's currently being worked on. However, it only works with Chrome.
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 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>

Pro Made with web development in mind
It has a live preview, built in autocomplete for all web languages and inspection tools made for the web. This is what it excels at.
