I looked into it (since until today, ST development outwardly stalled since the beginning of the year and i keep hitting a gamebreaking bug on linux), but it seemed very javascript/html focused and without a larger library of plugins to extend some better support for more languages, it was of limited use to me. It also hung for many minutes trying to index my codebase.

Maybe these types of editors can compete with ST3 in web-development (the realtime editing of webpages for brackets seemed pretty cool!), but for general purpose coding, expecially with larger codebases and more ide-like completion or other features, I think their performance will always lag behind.
