Forums » Everything else » Brackets IDE

I saw this IDE a few days ago, also I've been testing it in my spare time, and it does several pretty amazing things, first of all it works using css, html and javascript only, it has this crazy-awesome functionality to edit CSS "inline" etc,

But something that caught my eye is that it seems to have access to your filesystem using only javascript (i haven't delved very deep into it's source code yet, so I might be wrong)

*My point is that, the only "gripe" I have with Weltmeister is that it uses PHP, and I'm guessing that is because you need access to the filesystem (I don't know anything about PHP so I might be wrong), it would be awesome to have weltmeister using only javascript.

*Nevermind, I was wrong. The filesystem access is done vía C++ as an adition to Chromium.

Yea Javascript, for security reasons, can't access the file system so you have to turn to other things such as PHP to bridge that gap.

IDE looks nice though... for my day-job at least. I'll have to check it out.

Finally got around to watching this - it looks cool. Either of you give it a try?

Haven't... still going strong with Sublime Text. It does look really nice for web development though... so I really should be looking closer at it.
