I 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.
Not 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.
It did make sense. Adobe creates authoring tools and the web is a target platform. Think of Dreamweaver.
As for their creative products, Photoshop and In Design are still king in the industry, because formats, but for how long? People in video editing are moving to Final Cut Pro, Da Vinci Resolve and co because of the lack of significant improvements in After Effects or Premiere.

Given Microsoft's ownership of Github, I suspect it's inevitable. If anything, I'm surprised that it hasn't already happened.
There is no point in killing something which is already dead. You will only get bad press. Much easier to let it rot.
VisualStudio Code is really taking over, at least in terms of the commercial world. I wonder if GitHub’s Atom is next.

In hindsight yes, but even a few years ago the 'lightweight IDE/Text Editor' scene was wide open with no clear winner. You had products like Sublime Text, TextMate (mac), Atom, Brackets, and a bunch of other ones competing for mindshare.

There's plenty of point. Rotted projects are bad press.

More like used to. There is like what, a single app for prototyping which is more on the mobile side. and the rest (Dreamweaver and co) have not been significantly updated for years. There is absolutely nothing left of the Macromedia era. Creating and fostering creative communities is something Adobe completely failed at. Flash, Dreamweaver and Fireworks had a vibrant ecosystem of plugins which was their strength. As…
I’m not the target market, but if the first time I’m reading about a product is when it’s being discontinued, perhaps there were marketing and/or product/market fit issues.

Since VS Code is open-source under an MIT license, it's hard to complain! I'm glad to be using a single editor for almost all my coding, customized just the way I like.
I definitely appreciate that the core is open source, but using the open source version is less fun than it sounds. You really want to use the freeware proprietary VS Code to get a good experience.
If we're going to be using a proprietary text editor anyways, then I wish Sublime Text and its community were still as active as they used to be.
