Download the latest version of Brackets code editor today. It was first released during the year 2014 by Adobe Systems. Brackets for Mac will require at least. Beautify Brackets extension makes your code look good. Not only does it make your files. Although we use Dreamweaver for the majority of our web work, we also use Brackets for quick editing, especially for individual pages and has been our goto editor for a few years. It’s also worth adding that Brackets is a cross-platform visual editor, for Windows, Mac and Linux. Download Adobe Brackets.
The docs are a bit confusing - given the target market they should change 'Check it out' to demo or something, but there are binaries you can download for Mac and Windows, you don't have to sign up for the Adobe Cloud thing at all. It's a desktop app, and here's what it looks like:A quick off-the-cuff comparison, not being familiar with all of these tools, I'm sure others will jump in and correct/clarify:
CodeMirror - this is for embedding in pages only, and has no way of editing files etc, so you'd need to use a wrapper like:
CodeMirrorUI - a wrapper using the API to add some editor-like functionality, but it's still not a standalone editor app.
Light Table requires Java, and is focussed on Clojure (and JS?) right now, so although the ideas and interface have been borrowed from in Brackets, it's not really in the same space right now, and is likely to diverge as time passes.
Jsbin - this is probably the closest in feel to the Adobe offering, though it runs in a browser, not as a local app. That rules it out for me.
So this is more like TextMate based on CodeMirror - it could be used as a replacement for another editor like Dreamweaver, Coda, Textmate etc, and while the focus is on html/css/js, it'd be nice to see them expand that eventually to other domains. I suspect though they'll keep it tightly focussed on html, css and js.
Adobe For Mac Os
It's worth downloading the demos here to try it out:

This looks like a really interesting new direction from Adobe, and an attempt to get back a bit of mindshare in a market where currently they are seen as a stodgy old dinosaur with products like Adobe® Dreamweaver®™. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on it as TextMate user currently, however I'd need support for other languages. Having had a little play with the download, I can say it's really not ready for primetime (only live edit of css is working right now, not even html edits), but what you can see looks really impressive, the UI is clean and works well, and if they have the language coverage of CodeMirror that would be really interesting (if not it'll still be useful, but could not replace TextMate for me for example).
