Wow, that is impressive!

Thanks for linking that. I had never seen it before.

I had seen this a while back; it looks pretty awesome. That one and this one: https://atom.io/ (once it becomes available on Windows) I am interested in trying out. For now I use Sublime Text with a few plugins, one for a color picker, and I use livereload along with watcher / grunt to make it to where I never have to restart my server to see changes. The one feature I can't replicate is the built-in browser that allows you to directly edit a DOM element. I wonder how well this plays with front-end JS frameworks like Angular.

Looks pretty cool, but I am pretty rooted-in with WebStorm. I may give this a go, though!

Good find!

I just started using Brackets, it's pretty awesome. Has multiple selection and multiple cursor editing, live preview updates, and a cool "quick edit" feature. You hit control+E and it opens up whatever JavaScript or CSS is affecting that area of your HTML in a little window and you can quickly edit the corresponding JS and CSS.

Interestingly, the entire Brackets editor is built in just HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS so anyone who knows those languages can mod Brackets. Funny thing to mention is that the Brackets team uses Brackets to edit and update Brackets! Haha recursive dev?

That reminds me of the fact that the first C++ compiler was built with C. I mean, I understand it, but it is still kind of brain-bending lol.
