Brackets killer feature was beginner friendliness. You can type some HTML, CSS, and Javascript and you can watch it render live right there in front of you, without having to open a browser window. The very first time I sat down to try to learn some code, I tested sublime text and brackets and went with brackets because I didn't really know how to structure a development workflow. Its kind of similar to Thonny for python in that regard.
