Brackets is a web application; they can deliver a better font via @font-face, so the user experience is better. I'm not seeing what's wrong with that. While they could just omit it and fall back on the browser's default monospaced font, then you'd get things like Courier's indistinguishable 0/O and 1/l. That has nothing to do with having the font "be recognizable;" it's a straightforward usability feature.

Nothing stops you from using either of the fonts for any purpose you choose.
