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 remote cgi debugger is very cool in concept, but the implementation seems sucky. For every HTTP request, you have to tell komodo to listen on the debugging port, and if there's nobody listening on that port, IIS will fail. Maybe there's a workaround for that. 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? The remote file editing is not bad, but it's still not as transparent as opening a file like this: "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:public_html/project"; that just rocks. And speaking of stupid little things, when I have a remote file open in Komodo, and go to open another file in the same remote folder, why does it forget where I was? It's like it has to open another ftp connection for each action. 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. Can anyone recommend a better code-folding script for emacs? 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. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
