The increase in productivity I got from the interactive debugging environment in Komodo IDE probably saved me more than the purchase price within 48 hours. This is a quality product.

Komodo has changed my life.

I just finished up my first major project using Komodo and I cannot believe did not use it earlier! After using Zend Studio and Eclipse to develop LAMP applications, Komodo is hands down the best cross platform development IDE.
— Derek Ellis
I appreciate your realistic licensing—I paid for my own copy and I use it at home on my Linux desktop, on my laptop, and here at my day job. I just used Komodo to build the application installer for our Windows-based app http://IncidentView.com/ and am building the data installer for it now.Komodo is one of the two pieces of software I willingly pay money for and recommend to colleagues.

I'm a long time user of the Komodo IDE from ActiveState, and it kindly shows you the comment immediately preceding a function you type, in a tooltip as you provide parameters. Being able to see what parameters your method is expecting, what it returns, and any gotchas about using it without opening the file containing the class, saves a lot of time during development. Those kinds of comments I consider to be required.

Komodo is intuitive, responsive, and full featured. In the 20 years that I've been developing software, this is one of the best IDEs I've ever used.
— Bryan Aamot , Brainware
Suffice to say with Komodo I got local and remote debugging up and running within just a couple hours, and it's been a total dream to use.

I've been a Komodo customer for almost five years, and couldn't imagine using another editor for my work with dynamic languages. Komodo IDE syntax highlights and auto-completes my Perl, Ruby, XML, SQL, HTML and CSS, allowing my team to write better code more quickly than we ever have. Version 4.1 added Ruby on Rails support that went beyond my expectations, including the ability to create databases directly from the YAML file. With the addition of soft characters and automatic updates in version 4.2, things are only getting better.

I'd rather use Komodo than other IDEs. Komodo is easier to use and easier to configure and works the way I want it. Python support is great.

So you're a Web application developer? Developing in Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby or JavaScript? Are you a Linux, Mac or Windows user? No matter what your choices are, the answer is ActiveState's Komodo IDE 4.0, an impressive cross-platform and cross-language environment for building Web applications. And oh yeah, it's a really great tool that makes working in all these languages a breeze.

We started using Komodo for our hundreds of thousands of Perl code lines. We love the fact that with Komodo IDE 4.1 we can also use it for Ruby.
— Balázs Nagy , Chief Architect, TheNewPush, LLC
If you work in any of the languages Komodo supports, you owe it to yourself to examine it (for free). If you work in any two of them, you probably should just buy it.

We use Komodo IDE and the Perl Dev Kit to build our internal systems. They save us an amazing amount of time and effort.

Komodo IDE 4.0 is the Swiss army knife of scripting languages and web development. With the addition of integrated JavaScript debugging, HTML/XML/CSS auto-completion, an integrated HTTP protocol inspector, an integrated DOM inspector, and a handful of other nifty tools, it's quite possibly the coolest thing to happen to scripting languages since, well, ever.
— Issac Goldstand , Founder Mirimar Networks
Kudos for adding XML catalogs to Komodo 4.0. I am really impressed!
— Bryan Rieger , Yiibu
I really dig Komodo's toolbox; it's the coolest thing. It's great to have an editor that you can just extend like that, and share your extensions with the team—quickly, without having to write full-on plugins.
— Jerrett Taylor , Director of Software Development, Bravenet Web Services
I am a Mac addict, and on Mac OS X, I code with Komodo. I love Komodo's clean, integrated UI, the compact and usable project navigation bar, the ability to see code structure, and support for CVS and Subversion, and I was able to create a macro five minutes after installation! I am delighted with the capabilities. Komodo is the best IDE for scripting languages.
— Irakli Nadareishvili , Senior Software Architect, Picktek
Komodo doesn't just act as an IDE for Python but is also a very accomplished Perl, PHP, and Tcl IDE providing all the standard features like code highlighting and folding along with code completion. The Rx Toolkit is so advanced it could quite easily be a mini standalone app as it provides not only matching of text and highlighting but also shows the data that would appear in the various group matches.
— Doug Bromley , Straw Dogs
I use Perl constantly, and have to say that not only is Komodo the best editor I have ever used for Perl scripts, it's the best editor I've used for any language.
— Dr. Ed Chester , Flight Operations Specialist, National Space Centre, UK
Komodo is a world-class IDE. It makes software engineers out of hackers.
— Robert M. Craver II , Software Engineer, NOAA's National Ocean Service
Komodo has saved us a lot of time with its interactive debugging feature for Perl.
— Gene Daniel , Savannah River National Laboratory, WSRC
Komodo is a great product. My favourite feature is the regex generator/tester. It's saved me heaps of time and aggravation when coming up with complicated regular expressions to get through weblogs and the like.
— Ben Maddock , Web Administrator (UniSAnet), Flexible Learning Centre, University of South Australia
Komodo has been a lifesaver. I've never been a big IDE user but now I understand why a good IDE and a debugger are so important.
— John E. Vincent , Network Administrator
Great product, excellent service turnaround times. Komodo is my new IDE of choice!
— Tyler Bye , Senior Software Engineer and Fellow, Protoven
I love Komodo. I spend about seven hours a day on it, and I think it's great. I use it for Perl, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, XML, Python, PHP, C/C++, SQL and Java. I even use it just to write plaintext files.
— Dave Rankin , President, Surf This! Web Design, Inc
I love Komodo! I have been using it for over two years, and upgrade every time a new version is available. Komodo has always been very useful for me, but I also appreciate the new features and enhancements. Thanks.
