What kind of editor doesn't support jumping between braces? The version of Vi that shipped with 2BSD in 1979, supports that feature[0]. Both Gedit and Notepad++ highlight matching braces. Sure, if you're doing your editing in Notepad, you might have a problem, but pretty much every other editor either highlights, supports jumping between them, or both.
