When I am on ssh, I use vim.I develop stuff in vim, in tmux over ssh often, because that is the simplest I…

how do you live preview let's HTML APP on VS Code? Like Brackets has it. I guess I can hit f1 and view in browser but is not "Live" and gets tiring refreshing the page.

I think there's plugins for that. Checkout https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hdg.live....

I do a lot of front-end dev and use VS Code as well. I do remember Brackets being pretty nifty for doing just HTML/CSS stuff. In practice, however, I'm pretty much exclusively writing JavaScript that outputs html, so the usefulness of Brackets' live preview or similar is almost nonexistent.

I think VS Code hits the sweet spot between actively-developed, speed, free, and features... for front-end at least. It's also pretty good for Golang.
