It's nice to know that the biggest tech brands are slowly moving towards open source. That does reassure common men like us.

  It says "11 months since last commit" for me. Either way it's wrong. Brackets was updated 3 hours ago (https://github.com/adobe https://github.com/adobe)

    There was a short quieter period when Adobe was incorporating Brackets to Dreamweaver, but since then we have done tons of new features, bug fixes and a steady stream of releases. We are always looking for new contributors and can help to get started with the codebase! Join our Slack or post on GitHub! (Disclaimer: I am a non-Adobe core contributor of Brackets).

Adobe is sitting on tons of software and could open source a whole lot more, such as their embedded JS (ES3?) engine and maybe older FrameMaker sources and other print-era renderers they don't have a direct commercial interest in anymore.

  Well I wouldn't want them to open source After Effects for example, reading their source code would hurt me so much

  I agree with the idea itself, but just want to point out that they still have commercial interest in print rendering. InDesign is the evolution of FrameMaker.

  > their embedded JS (ES3?) engine Your wish has already been granted. "Source code for the Actionscript virtual machine": https://github.com/adobe-flash/avmplus https://github.com/adobe-flash/avmplus 4 years old, dunno how closely it tracks the current Actionscript interpreter in the Flash plugin. It's also worth noting that they donated this VM to Mozilla eleven years ago, according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarin_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarin_(software)
