921 PointsDifferences between workspace editor and challenge editor.
Just started with treehouse, enjoying it so far, I have one question:
Is it correct that the treehouse editor for the challenges works slightly different from the workspace editor ? For example, at my windows 8 laptop (chrome), in workspace the tags autoclose, while in the challenge editor it doesn't.
I do prefer the workspace editor a bit, also because it is more similar to editor I guess I will be using when I finish the course (like webstorm). Would it be possible to use the workspace editor for the challenges ?

Many modern editors used for development will autoclose your tags/quotes and generally help you write your code as quickly and efficiently as possible, but when learning it's probably best that you write everything out.
