Yet another great review! Although I don’t think that I’ll be starting to use an IDE because of this, I really like the format of this review. The multiple screenshots are great, too, and make it fun to read.

Mmmm… It looks tempting, though…

I just looked over komodo and one obvious thing missing is support for editing xul files. They can be edited as XML but no nice insert of xul structures

The absence of XUL editing support should make one thing very clear: Komodo doesn’t work for its developers - obviously they must be hand editing their GUI’s XUL files. As interesting as it otherwise looks, this should be enough for anyone making a purchasing decision to put a the same wide bert between this product as you would the real life Komodo dragon.

I think my biggest beef with komodo is that it doesn’t allow you to use SSH as a remote file protocol. Even dreamwever has this and the users has been asking for this for a while. Who wants to install and configure an FTP server for this app?

I’m always amazed when people post the question “What is the best PHP editor?” on forums, because there seems to be nearly as many different responses as people.

Having tried around 3 other editors, I too instantly liked the power of Komodo.

My main query is “Why don’t more PHP developers out there use it?”

Heh, maybe most of us have travelled to the dark side of VI VI VI.

I’m not sure why PHP developers don’t use it, maybe because ActiveState has always marketed Komodo as a Perl IDE rather than a multi-language one.

I imagine its not more popular then it is because of the price. At $300 its not exactly a throwaway amount and its still missing a lot of features people consider critial
