Please do not kill this project.

[ErikThiart]

I don't want to use VS code, that sucks.

Brackets is amazing, please don't kill me.

[felipechalreo]

That sucks. I like Brackets.

[uchoamaster]

I loved Brackets, really sucks ...

[lakhanpaul]

It's because of Adobe's deal with Microsoft so they're just promoting Visual Studio Code now

[lance1572]

Same here! I love brackets!

[LorenzoLotti]

T-T

VSCODE is shit compared to brackets - comparing shortcuts and easy to use for front end ui projects. brackets is the best code editor i found in my 7 years career. killing brackets is SIN by adobe

If the code is properly written and well documented, it can't really be killed. The question is more whether we can, as a community, make the development and support of a Brackets fork sustainable. Do we have/know devs in the community who are ready to tackle the task, and are we ready to chip in to help them?

I loved Brackets when I used it few years ago when I started learning frontend development. I fell in love with the live preview feature, it was just really great compared to anything else I tried to use before. I haven't used Brackets in a long time since I switched to VS Code, but it's still sad to see it get deprecated.

I mean, it's not unexpected since it didn't get a new release in ~10 months. It's not easy to maintain such a large project especially now since VS Code is dominating so much and can do everything Brackets can and 100x more really.

Emmet doesn't work, no live preview...

Did you actually try VS Code or you are just talking randomly? Personally, I never had problem with Emmet in any file format I wanted, even inside React Javascript files, it just works. Also, there is live preview, but as a plugin of course. I think you might be overreacting just a tiny bit 😄

If anyone is willing to continue to maintain it, please let me know, thanks a lot!

[moeenio]

Can the Brackets name be reused or is it a trademark?

[flopezre]

Any fork?

[moeenio]

Not yet, apparently.

[kimmerin]

Not yet, apparently.

There are 7000 forks. What do you mean by "not yet"?

[moeenio]

I mean there's no fork to keep the project alive yet

[rafalkrupinski]

There should be a person or an organised group of people willing to maintain it, new name should be selected
