Overall Satisfaction with Brackets

I use Brackets for basic code editing in HTML, CSS, JavaScript (and jQuery), and PHP & MySQL. It is not the most advanced editor but is my go-to because it is quick and easy to use.
  • Highlighting code
  • Code indenting with a hotkey (if you enable the feature).
  • Fast and easy setup.
  • Managing projects, such as opening files from a repo. It can be done, but it is pretty much file by file instead of accessing a project or folder.
  • Working with repos (see the previous answer).
  • Makes code editing quick and easy so I can move on to other tasks.
  • Notepad++
I have used Notepad++ before. I prefer Brackets, the core functionality is similar, but I like the feel and usability more. I think Brackets has some added features and customization abilities as well.
Neutral. I have not used/needed Brackets' support. Their help docs are good. Note that I use the free version.
