I know that many of you will be surprised and many others will already know what this article is going to do. A few months ago, Adobe seeing the competition it was having with publishers like Sublime Text 2 or IDE's like Eclipse or Netbeans, embarked on an ambitious and risky project that is paying off. The idea was to provide an editor for web development that is easy to use and that is a platform for all web developers. This is how it was born brackets, adobe editor, free license that can be used on most platforms, Windows, Mac OS and Gnu / linux, especially distributions that use deb as the main package, as is the case with Ubuntu.
Brackets Features
We have been talking to you about Sublime Text 2 one of the best editors out there for developers, okay, brackets it is the same but with a friendlier appearance. It is in perfect Spanish and when we open it we have the project tree on our left, which in Sublime Text 2 we had to enable it. Possibly, brackets It does not have as many extensions as Sublime Text currently has, however the number of them is enormous and grows over time.
brackets is focused on editing files for new web technologies, such as CSS, Html, Php, Javascript, Node.js…. Leaving aside programming technologies such as Java, C ++, Cobol, etc ... So Brackets represents an effective tool for web development but a lousy one for the developer in general, especially for those who develop web and from time to time develop programs. Reminiscent of Adobe's professional toolkits and specialization in Adobe Dreamweaver, a very popular and powerful tool from Adobe for developing websites that unfortunately does not exist natively in Ubuntu or Gnu / Linux.
How to install Brackets in our Ubuntu
brackets It is free and it is ready to be used in Ubuntu but unfortunately it is not yet in the Ubuntu repositories, so if we want to have it installed on our computer we have to do it from external repositories or by downloading the package from the official website and install it. I personally recommend this last option, both for experts and novices, it is a simple, fast and official solution. For this we just have to go to this link, download the version that we want and correspond with our system and by double clicking on the deb that we download, the Software Center wondering if we want to install it.
Once we have installed it, we can see how it is in Spanish, both the menus and the guide in html that opens for us as soon as we open the editor for the first time. Once read, you are ready to rub shoulders a bit.
While is true that brackets It does not have an official version, it is still in Beta, how who says, it is also true that it is fully functional, stable and can be developed in it although it is not Sublime Text 2. The quality of this editor compared to Sublime Text is that it is free while Sublime Text is not. For the rest, I let you choose, the last word is yours.

Do you have the possibility of being able to make changes by FTP like Dreamweaver? I would like to be able to switch to Ubuntu and leave Windows aside at once, but I am so used to programs like Dreamweaver and Photoshop that I don't know if there are programs in Ubuntu that can give me the same.
Yes, if it is out of habit you will never leave Windows, I tell you from my experience, use Linux! It will take time for you to forget Windows or rather to get used to Linux, but little by few you will be one of the many that we are not going to leave Linux never more…….
at first it is difficult but later as ariel says you will never leave Linux again ,,,
It happened to me. Moving to Linux wasn't that easy, but there was something that appealed to me. I am now a Linux devotee and will never go back to Windows, although I once tried to just not find a dreamweaver for Linux. But using Aptana I was fine and then with Komodo Edit better. I feel more than comfortable in Linux.
