Unable to install Brackets in Ubuntu 18.04 because it relies on libcurl3
and Ubuntu 18.04 uses libcurl4, it would break some of my programs and part of the system if I'd install libcurl3 and remove 4.

Perhaps it's possible to symlink to libcurl4, but I'm not sure how stable that would be.

+1 on this. Also for some reason it was missing upon ubuntu 18.04 upgrade. After trying to install it via gdebi I got this as question:
"Requires the REMOVAL of the following packages: curl libcurl4 playonlinux steam-launcher "
Why does it need to remove playonlinux and steam. I kinda need those..

Mine installs but is unusable. Buggy and crashes all the time. Can't even open and save.

@Rebitteration
I have reported the same issue here #14171 , and as@PlamenSh mentioned, the workaround is available at: adobe/brackets#14171 (comment) but the steps are from: adobe/brackets#14171 (comment)

I'll add them here for ease of access:

1. Download the .deb installer file.
2. Inside the folder where you downloaded the file run
   dpkg-deb -R ./Brackets.Release.1.12.64-bit.deb Brackets
3. Edit file Brackets/DEBIAN/control and replace libcurl3 with libcurl3|libcurl4
4. Rebuild .deb installer running
   dpkg-deb -b Brackets Brackets-fixed.deb
5. Install Brackets using the fixed installer running
   sudo dpkg -i Brackets-fixed.deb

Same situation on 18.10. Fixed with Brackets/DEBIAN/control editing.

To me it was a matter of missing dependencies, and doing: apt --fix-broken install after the failed install attempt solved the problem.
