Marek Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 In brackets? You switch on live preview on the file and it opens up chrome (has to be chrome for the moment) and then as you type in the code it updates the page in front of your eyes. Same with editing css and so on. So it is not refreshing, but pushing the update continuously. Quite fun! I believe i have just made something similar in sublime text ... i have installed auto-save plugin and opened live preview in prepros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joss Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 But doesn't that rely on the browser refreshing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soma Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 SFTP for sublime has many features like sync, monitoring etc. Quite handy. When I need it I use https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/LiveReload with the Chrome LiveReload extension. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowled Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I only tested Atom very briefly and some time ago, and I don't think I have given Brackets more than a short glance. At first sight, they look and feel very much as if they're trying to be “the better Sublime Text” without really offering (for me, which is totally subjective) any benefit. Instead, I'd have to go through the hassle of configuring a new editor to my liking, which is something ST (again, for me; very subjective) was really good at. My ST config is basically non-existent, I pretty much use it the way it comes. Also, there's modules/plugins – I use only a handful in ST, and I'd have to check if something similar exists for Atom or Brackets. Bottom line: if you're working with code every day, switching editors is similar to replacing an arm or something. (I sometimes still catch myself using keyboard shortcuts I used in Emacs for about 10 years on Linux.) Despite the (true) facts that ST development is kind of slow and the developer is not very transparent about development, any new editor would still (once again, for me) have to offer really convincing new features to get me to even think about switching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osorio Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I made the switch to Atom whithout having been too invested into Sublime.The difference in Speed is unfortunate, but imho far outweighed by Atoms opensourciness and hackability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yannick Albert Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 A bit off the topic, but I had to say something ftp, sftp, rsync, git.. Whatever, deployment is as easy simple as we make it. This article kept me cool: http://lesjames.com/deployment/ Btw: Currently, I use gulp, git, hooks (and maybe flightplan in near future) to deliver my stuff. PS: I tried both them all. Notepad, dreamweaver, nvu, pspad, notepad++, bbedit, aptana, netbeans, eclipse, textmate, scriptly, coda, atom, brackets... (Sorted by first use) I'll stay with sublime text... Atom looks pretty neat, but it feels like an early bird, at midnight. And brackets, yeah, it's a toy (today), nothing for productivity, sorry adobe... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernhard Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 hi guys, just gave the forum a quick search about ATOM.io and landed on this thread. i tested atom the last days (coming from sublime) and i'm quite happy so far. it feels a little slower sometimes but there are great plugins (like used from sublime) and the new github integration is awesome!! you should definitely check that out (little screencast-like demo website, just click on "resolve conflicts" for example): https://github.atom.io/ this one gives also a quick overview (like many other): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbg13 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 @bernhard checkout VS Code, it's faster than atom (at least it was when I switched) and it's very similar to atom visually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoff Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 i wonder why one should want another editor than sublime …? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernhard Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 for me 2 main reasons: i'm not so happy with the sftp plugin, the remote ftp plugin of atom is a lot nicer imho the github integration is great @fbg13 thanks, i'll check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
