What is Brackets?
Brackets is an open-source editor for web design and development built on top of web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
With focused visual tools and preprocessor support, Brackets is a modern text editor that makes it easy to design in the browser. It's crafted from the ground up for web designers and front-end developers.
Brackets is a lightweight, yet powerful, modern text editor. We blend visual tools into the editor so you get the right amount of help when you want it without getting in the way of your creative process. You'll enjoy writing code in Brackets.
Made with Love (and JavaScript) Brackets is an open-source project, supported by an active and passionate community. It's made by other web developers like you!
Inline Editors Instead of jumping between file tabs, Brackets lets you open a window into the code you care about most. Want to work on the CSS that applies to a specific ID? Put your mouse cursor on that ID, push Command / Ctrl+E and Brackets will show you all the CSS selectors with that ID in an inline window so you can work on your code side-by-side without any popups.
Live Preview Get a real-time connection to your browser. Make changes to CSS and HTML and you'll instantly see those changes on screen. Also see where your CSS selector is being applied in the browser by simply putting your cursor on it. It's the power of a code editor with the convenience of in-browser dev tools.
Preprocessor Support Work with preprocessors in a whole new way. We know how important preprocessors are to your workflow. That’s why we want to make Brackets the best code editor for preprocessors out there. With Brackets you can use Quick Edit and Live Highlight with your LESS and SCSS files which will make working with them easier than ever.

Now there is a forked project: https://github.com/brackets-cont/brackets
Outright non-functional on High Sierra. Literally graphical artifacts and crashing, cannot open a text file.
0/10 broken abandoned mess
Bracket was forked as "Phoenix IDE"
