The question about Komodo vs other IDEs seems to pop up on PM every two years or so. I looked around and ended up buying Komodo 5.1, and yes, at $245 after discount, it was unexpectedly expensive. I guess I had been looking sub-$100. Anyhow, I dug deep and went for it. Overall it's a nice tool. The layout is a bit chaotic, but it has a lot of stuff with it (eg Unit test plans, which I havent got to work yet). The debug and trace work well (mostly). Some times I get a complete crash with no indication of what went wrong, but this is rare and mostly I get useful error messages. But I would like to think there is something more useful and well-structured out there. What else have people found and used that is fit for the new millenium?
