Hello all. I've been trying out Komodo for a couple of weeks, and while it works pretty well, I'm not seeing anything worth forking out $295 for. I'm mainly using it for cgi development, so the gui builder isn't much use.
The "personal" version is a tenth of the price, without some ofthe bells and whistles.
The #1 reason I use emacs is for the auto-indent, and Komodo's auto-indent just isn't as good. You can't select a region and auto-indent the code, for example. You can only increase/decrease the indent on each line. I don't want to start a war, but has anyone found a program with auto-indent performance comparable to emacs?
It's a question of what you're used to, I guess. IMO emacs's indentation blows syphilitic goats :-)
Komodo's code-folding is cool. I installed a code-folding script in emacs (http://mah.everybody.org/docs/emacs/folding-cperl-mode), but it wasn't as flexible as Komodo's code-folding; it only folded top-level subroutines, whereas Komodo allows folding of any regions enclosed in curly braces.
It'll also fold parentheses and (IIRC) square brackets. Very cool indeed. I have yet to meet another editor which gets code folding right.
In conclusion, are there any life-saving Komodo features that I'm missing? I'm trying to be open-minded here, but I'm just not seeing the value.
If you've managed to bully emacs into doing what you need, then I'd say you may as well stick with it. I, however, lack the patience to discipline emacs.
