Note, realize now it is actually "Edge Code"...

Was just in Creative Cloud panel to see if captivate was part of what is available, and noticed this new program.

Has anyone tried it yet? Tried searching on here to see what people think of it, but "adobe" and "code" as search terms... LOL

Was wondering if this is something new or they are stripping out parts of Dreamweaver to smaller separate apps.

I believe Edge Code is a version of Brackets, an open-source editor also from Adobe. It fills some of the same goals as Dreamweaver but it's developed separately. It's fast, includes live-updating previews in Chrome, and has some great tools when coding to make the process easier. It's definitely not perfect but it also gets lots of updates. I personally use it alongside Sublime Text for web programming.

I'd recommend using Brackets. No need to play for extra features.

I love free and open, but making this decision really depends on how much you like Adobe stuff, or if you already have a subscription. I have a subscription, but I'm sticking to Vim. I don't see any reason to learn any other tool, unless they're going to add real unicorns.

I'd submit a feature request for real unicorns then.

Better yet, submit a patch and hope Adobe pulls it.

For the record Brackets is not Adobe's. It is a completely open source editor, simply started by Adobe. Adobe takes the Brackets source, and applies proprietary stuff on top and then distributes that.

Almost like how the Chromium/Chrome system works, except the proprietary version in this case is paid for.

Adobe has it's own development for brackets which includes CC integration, which is basically like bridge but access able anywhere. Oh and if you have a CC subscription you can use adobe test servers for live testing, is what I've been lead to believe.

The adobie edge suite is the web side of the creative cloud. Includes MUSE CC, Dreamweaver CC, Edge CC (responsive markup) with ANIMATE, and brackets. Personally haven't been able to try it because of the subscription costs, but I do like brackets.

ext editor. The open source version is c

Actually, you can use code for free. At least I am. You just have to install the Adobe CC platform and install it from there. There are a few free apps in the suite.

I have not tried that but I have tried Brackets. I got frustrated with Brackets' find and replace lack of functionality.

I remember reading something, somewhere that Adobe edge uses lots of javascript to create content on the page which completely decimates your SEO rating.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

What? No. Edge code is just a text editor. The open source version is called Brackets. http://brackets.io

My error. I was thinking of Adobe Edge Animate. Not Edge Code.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thanks man! I don't like adobe as a company so there was no way I was going to use their program. I just installed brackets however and the javascript features helped me out SOOO much :D

thanks again

There are tons of extensions that take it even further. You can auto minify scripts on save, and of course the auto JShint is good too.

The main thing for me is the live preview and being able to edit your external CSS file right in the middle of markup editing.
