Komodo ReviewGreat IDE for five languages - Version: 5.1.2, 4/29/2009 09:33AM PST

I have had this IDE since 3.5 and have had very few problems with using it. You get multiple languages with a debugger and the ability to use the product for your purposes on any Mac OS/X Linux or Windows machine.

I don't understand the comment about installing files all over the place. You grab the application icon and drop it on the Application folder and that is it. It all seems to be self contained under the .app folder. I also have installed on Linux and they were very careful to install everything under a directory in my home as the preferred install. The application is licensed by user not machine so install in the home directory is appropriate but not the only choice.

It is written on the Mozilla engine that Firefox uses and is consistent across the platforms I use which for me is more important that being completely Mac like on a Mac and Linux like on Linux etc. in terms of look and feel. They follow the platform standard shortcut keys.

The IDE is also extensible through kpz files with lots of examples on the web site.

I am not associated with Active State in any way other than being a customer.

Komodo ReviewToo pricey now - Version: 4.1, 5/15/2007 06:17PM PST

I purchased version 3.5. They had a standard and a pro edition. Version 4 is 2-3X as expensive since there is no longer a standard edition. While it's a nice tool, it's priced itself out of the range of the everyday Ruby or Python scripter who does not need web-based apps, CSS, XML, and Ajax. All I wanted was to program in Ruby and Python with decent tools to automate my system -- I can't justify the increased cost for a wealth of features that I don't need.

Komodo CommentaryUnistaller needed - Version: 4.0a2, 7/14/2006 04:11PM PST

This program's installers write files all over the place in the OSX root library. I mean lots and lots of small files.

Shortly after I installed it, things started toget wobblie with my operating system. I can't say that this program effect the operating system because there is no way of knowing.

I tried to work with it for a few days and found it more trouble than it was worth and I decided to go back to ZEND Studio. However there is no Uninstaller that I could find, so I had to replace my entire system to get rid of it all.
