Brackets was quite nice for what it can do out of the box, but I found the community support very poor, so there's really not much more than that it can do.
LightTable was a clever idea that never quite fit my workflow, and which as far as I can tell is basically dead. The creators have abandoned it, and the surviving maintainer support is of the "pull requests welcome" variety. There are glaring bugs in basic features like inline eval, and maintainer response was a combination of "eh, we're cutting that feature anyway" and "fix it yourself."
Sure as hell doesn't give me any hope that this "Eve" thing their hyping is anything but smoke and mirrors.
- 13years 11y agoI'm still using and prefer Brackets. Starting using it because it's performance was better than any other prior to VS Code. However, Brackets new instant search is awesome and no other editor has it. For large projects I find it a great feature to be able to search all files in realtime as you type.
- jarcane 11y agoOh yeah, performance-wise I'd say it beats either Atom or VS Code right out the gate. I just never managed to get an environment set up for what I needed to do at the time (ES6/Clojure[script]) so it wasn't much use.
- bdisraeli 11y agoUnless I'm totally missing the point of the instant search feature, this is definitely something you can do in Emacs[1], and something I believe I've seen co-workers do in Sublime. [1] https://github.com/syohex/emacs-helm-ag https://github.com/syohex/emacs-helm-ag
- 13years 11y agoAt a cursory glance, I'm not sure it is the same. Brackets keeps some type of index. So there is zero delay whenever you perform a project wide search. Looks like Emacs helm uses Silver Searcher which is real time, but impressively fast.
- happyhowler 11y agoDo you know how instant search is implemented? I'd assume the files are pre indexed but I'm wondering how large projects are handled.
