Just to tie together the original question about text editors and the later
ones about file formats, you can open a .brf file in any text editor,
including NotePad.  You can even edit the file although that would generally
not be a good idea as you'd likely mess up the document formatting.  If you
are sighted, you can choose to view a .brf file using either a text font,
such as Courier New, or a braille font, such as Duxbury's SimBraille.

One practical reason for opening a braille file in a text editor is if there
are some parts of the braille file that you want to copy and paste into
another document.  This could be either a print document with braille
examples or a dxp file where you want to put some Grade 0 braille.
