Top 10 Brackets Extensions
Turns out I'm a fickle developer that wastes some time every now and then jumping back and forth between Sublime Text and Brackets. I've been on a Brackets kick for the last couple weeks and figured I'd make note of my favorite extensions.
Brackets is an ever-evolving, freely available, open source, cross-platform editor being developed and maintained by Adobe + a community contributors. It launched with some great features a while back and is maturing at at great pace.

Developer’s Toolbox: Brackets
Recently, over at Learnable, @lcatdesigns put together a 10-minute video of her favorite parts of Brackets. It’s worth a watch if you’re new to Brackets.
Honorable Mention
This one is more of a novelty, but quite cool. Brackets-Wakatime allows you to automatically track what you spend time on within Brackets (or in several other editors, really). Pretty slick.
