Product demo videos don't usually hold my attention ... but I was riveted for the full 20 mins (full credit to both the product and Jeffry Way). Downloading the repo now.

Looks neat features. But I write neither HTML nor CSS on a regular basis. Does it offer anything for non-web programmers?

I just skimmed the long video..

The good: auto-refreshing preview of HTML page upon save

The bad: no auto-end-brackets or end quotes as one types (ironic, considering the editor is named Brackets)

I am sure that the talented Adobe engineers will make this editor a major contender for Sublime and Textmate in the future, but at this point, I think the stunning attribute in the post title is a bit link-baitish. I'm looking forward to watching the editor develop into a mature product!

This has been around for a while now, I used it a few months ago, and while interesting it didn't do anything I don't already do with Sublime and other tools. Someday it may do those things more easily, but for now, I don't see any significant reason to switch.

I noticed that the Emmet extension added keyboard shortcuts like "Command+Up". But that's a standard OSX text entry navigation shortcut! Why would you do that?

This is in no way a threat to native editors.

Is it me, or are they trying to hide the Brackets / Adobe relation ?

What is the auto-refresh going to show me when working on a Python or Ruby... or actually any non HTML file?
