The low Node.js version is becoming problematic. Many npm packages (e.g. ESLint) require a higher Node.js version nowadays, at least version 8. For example, linting in projects with a locally installed ESLint is now often broken, because the local ESLint requires a higher Node version.
And I'm developing a large extension with Javascript debugging within Brackets, which I'll happily share with the community, but it won't work with Node v6.

So an upgrade would be nice ;-) It requires testing ofcourse, I understand that. In my local installs on Windows and Linux I've manually replaced the Node executable with a higher version without a hitch.
