I started out using an early version of Komodo 4 and, despite random crashes and hangs

That was because your were late to the game, you should have bought version 3.1 like I did! :) 3.1 was pretty stable for me.

As for the upgrading to the Pro edition, $300, for my personal use? What am I getting, bug fixes for older editions, GRRR, extended support for PHP and Python, why would I want that? Those were the two big things I have seen added to Komodo and neither of them represented a $300 value to me.

And if I am going to get any more value of it besides it being a syntax checking application, I would need to add short-cuts using the toolbox( shortcuts for commands to run against the current code). If I have to extend functionality myself, why would I pay someone for that?

Komodo is $100 editor, and nothing more, until is starts looking and acting like a true IDE(like Visual Studio), I ain't gonna spend a dime more for it.
