#2Not shocked at all. It’s hard to keep up with the pace of innovation in this space especially with a competitor as skilled as Microsoft in this arena. A text editor from Adobe never really made sense to me.
I am also surprised that Atom is still kicking and hasn’t done something similar
Was a great UI out of the box though I admit.

#3VisualStudio Code is really taking over, at least in terms of the commercial world. I wonder if GitHub’s Atom is next.

#4I use to love brackets, especially with the responsive plugin. That made responsive development so easy. But then visual studio code came along and I stopped using it apart from for the responsive work. When the responsive plugin no longer worked I stopped using brackets all together.

I tried both and VS Code is a clear winner. I think Microsoft is keeping Atom around as a "consolation prize" to the people they acquired.

Given Microsoft's ownership of Github, I suspect it's inevitable. If anything, I'm surprised that it hasn't already happened.

It did make sense. Adobe creates authoring tools and the web is a target platform. Think of Dreamweaver.

They also had HomeSite (originally by Allaire, then bought by Macromedia), which is also a text editor. However, it seems that they abandoned it right after acquisition of Macromedia.

There is no point in killing something which is already dead.
You will only get bad press. Much easier to let it rot.
