Komodo Edit
I’m very happy that ActiveState have released Komodo Edit, a free (as in money) version of their IDE. I’ve been using Komodo either with a real license or with an “extended trial license” at work for years now, but recently made the switch to EasyEclipse because I’m now working from home and have to pay for my own licenses. Boy, am I glad to be back to Komodo…
I’m not saying that Eclipse is bad, it just has a different view on how certain things should be done than many other IDEs/editors. I prefer to write my code in Python because it fits my way of thinking. Similarly, Komodo just fits my brain much better than Eclipse does. On top of that, Eclipse still just seems too memory hungry for me, despite my recent computer upgrade.
The main take-away from this, however, is that I need to learn to pay for the software that I use instead of suffering quietly while waiting for the free versions to come out.
