ActiveState Komodo IDE Review
Excellent! I cannot fault this software and have used it for many years now as my primary code editor for web development.
PROSThe software is easy to install. The installation process is the same as any other piece of software. The editor has a number of advanced code editing features that are essential for web development. Komodo IDE allows you to use multiple tabs with different coding languages on each tab. This is great for multitasking. Tabs can be bookmarked and will reopen from a previously closed sessions. The find and replace capabilty is a life saver! You can search through an individual file or many different files for specific segments of code. All of this comes FREE!
CONSThere are so many powerful features within Komdo IDE that can make the software a little more demanding on my desktop system than other code editors.
Reasons for switching to Komodo IDE
Switching from Dreamweaver to Komodo IDE was a decision based on self improvement as a developer. Dropping Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG features to write more efficient code and gain a better understanding of web development as a whole.

Solid choice for an IDE
Komodo has been part of my programming work for many years. It's a great tool that keeps getting better.
PROSI've used a lot of IDEs over the years and this is one of my favorites. It works well, has support (syntax highlighting, etc) for every language I've used it for, and has worked well on every time of machine and OS. The interface is clean and minimalist yet has lots of options for customization. Once I got it set up for my work flow, it has been a real time saver. There is also a free "edit" version for home use or special projects. They regularly push out new versions.
CONSThe top menu is so small and compact it can be hard to pick what you are looking for. It could be more efficient. While I like that remote editing (via FTP) is available, servers seem to work one day and not the next. It may have a bit of a learning curve for a beginner.

It is very fast and with all the necessary tools to develop efficient applications
The environment offered by this product is very good which allows to create applications of good quality, is fully integrated, also supports several programming languages that allow us to have everything in one place, avoiding using different editors for each case, in other words improves the productivity significantly.
PROSOne of the advantages is that it is a multi-platform which can be worked on Linux, Mac or Windows, which greatly facilitates the access and implementation of the product. It is also a free code product since it is offered with the same license as the Firefox browser. and if the editing aspects are very good and consistent during its use offering the greatest comfort, a friendly environment and no doubt some is at the height of the best programming editors.
CONSIt does not have a debugger so you can not observe what happens with the program when it is executed, besides the cost of the license is somewhat high, which lowers the profitability for some organizations and users.

My current favorite IDE
The main benefit of using komodo ide is that it comes with many handy features and suggestions.Its easy to use.
PROSThe files can be selected from the side menu instead of using open feature in file menu and it provides the best suggestions of functions available along with its syntax.
CONSThe only thing that I don't like about Komodo IDE is that it takes some time on startup.

Great software for HTML newcomer
I started using Komodo IDE as an inexperienced HTML/CSS coder and now have published multiple websites written using the software. The user interface is simple and straightforward, and pages can be previewed easily right in the program or through different browsers. I also appreciate the simple and real-time debugging features.
CONSSo far, there haven't been attributes that I don't like. More online documentation and resources would be helpful, however.

Great for coding
This IDE supports a lot of languages and will support all the popular ones. I got this IDE because when I was learning python the tutorial I'm following uses this IDE. There are many customization features in this that let's me read my code much easier than just using a plain editor.
CONSNot much complaints about this except it could be bit overwhelming for beginners such as myself. There are some options that you might need to fix from the default before you start coding or you might encounter some problems later on. All of this might seem easy for those who code regularly but for those who don't might be quite confusing(especially from coding on plain text) .
