I thought Brackets was supposed to be more resilient against malfunctioning plugins. I thought Brackets had implemented some mechanisms to prevents a plugins from messing up the whole program... At least I seem to remember from looking at the endless changelogs.

Anyway, here's an issue for Brackets Icons:
ivogabe/Brackets-Icons#89

This plugins made Brackets freeze completely. While the plugins author is going to fix this, I believe it's also up to the Brackets team to prevent this happening in the first place. Perhaps by detecting a freezing plugin and disabling it before telling the user about it.

I've just released a new version with a fix. The freeze was caused by an infinite loop. I don't think that can be easily prevented by Brackets.
