Why would I want to use or contribute to this over something like <a href="http://codemirror.net/" rel="nofollow">http://codemirror.net/</a> or the various tools powered by codemirror? (light table, jsbin, etc)<p>edit: I see that this is also powered by codemirror, the editor itself, so what does this offer on top of it?<p>I can't even find a feature list on this page, and after signing up for the adobe ~cloud~ I haven't been able to make my way to a working demo of the application...
So I'm used to debugging in Chrome, so I instinctively open the browser's dev tools to find that this breaks the Live Preview. It feels somewhat like there's a quantum property here: things work like magic (the browser is apparently opening a static CSS file from file://), but as soon as you try to observe it, it starts behaving as expected (no live updates for you!). That seems a little bit odd.
I can't really see enough information about it on the site - what makes it so great? Perhaps making a screencast showing it doing some great things will help adoption.<p>Other considerations - pretty much any front-end person that isn't a masochist is going to be using a preprocessor like SASS or LESS - how will the editor support this? (also consider CoffeeScript, for instance).
Man, I really wish I could use this, I code JS, HTML, and CSS all day, and would love to hack on my own editor, but don't have the time to learn lisp or c.<p>No linux version :(
Tried it and liked it. The UI is pretty clear even if it's not ready for production.<p>I think this is what a lot of us missed. As webdesign is moving away from wysiwyg we need a new breed of text editors (I <i>love</i> Emacs but it's not very efficient for CSS/HTML/JS development).
I see no mention of how the editor will be customizable (keybinds, defining new commands) which is what this kind of online editor often lacks and is one of the cornerstone of the success of offline editors (emacs, vi, even SublimeText and TextMate).
fyi, you can see a video of an overview of Brackets here:<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tk7AUaExBQ&feature=plcp" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tk7AUaExBQ&feature=plcp</a>
