Adobe Brackets is finally being put to rest

Just as I got to know Adobe Brackets, I found out 3 days ago, inside my editor, that it is being deprecated, and will no longer be maintained. The team suggested that everyone switch over to VS Code.

Well, considering they weren’t making any updates to it for at least the last year or so (or more), that it was over HTTP and NOT HTTPS, and probably a whole bunch of other things I am not even aware of, I am not surprised. They probably didn’t feel like putting in the time because it was open source and not a money maker, and these days there are other much better alternatives out there that are also open source, but are well maintained by Microsoft (for example).

I did like the UI/UX feel of the (Adobe Brackets) editor, and will miss that part. The Atom code editor is similar in feel, and a great little editor now also maintained by Microsoft. They own Github, and Github originally created Atom. Anyone who loved using (Adobe) Brackets should transition to Atom. Then, if one starts building bigger, more complex applications, perhaps even full stack, I would suggest VS Code. Atom is just a nice code editor for getting your feet wet, and to prepare you for code editors like VS Code.

I will be embedding this episode of Plugging in The Holes along with a transcript in the form of a post on interglobalmedianetwork.com for your hearing and reading pleasure. Bye for now!
