I've know about Komodo IDE for a long time, but I only recently discovered Komodo Edit which is a free (as in beer) programmer's editor. I also just discovered that there's an Io language plugin for it (which is actually how I stumbed upon Edit).
I'm not a big IDE fan, but I've been wanting something a bit more modern than my usual editor Emacs for a while. Komodo Edit provides that plus features such as remote opening of files over SFTP.
Nice, I'll have to give it a try. Loading it into SVS now.
<a href="http://wiki.dandascalescu.com/reviews/software/komodo_vs_eclipse">Komodo Edit 5 just got significantly slower than 4</a>, because it dump to a SQLite database on disk a history of cursor positions in every edited file, so that you can go "back".
I've toyed about with Eclipse in the past, but found it presented too much of a learning curve. I'm very much a "file-oriented" person rather than a "project-oriented" one, so there's a bit of an impedance mismatch between how I work and how Eclipse wants me to work. I'm sure I could eventually get over it, but to date I haven't been inclined to.
I was pretty surprised to see that Eclipse outperformed Komodo. That certainly doesn't match my experience. I'd like to see a comparison of memory utilization and maybe a mention of what platform you've been working on.
In any case, I'll certainly give Eclipse another look. Thanks for the pointer!
Oh, and I should point out that I've been using Komodo Edit not Komodo IDE. Edit is much more trimmed down (it's just a programmers editor vs a full-blown IDE). In fact, my dislike for how Eclipse does things is very much mirrored in Komodo IDE.
For editing files over SSH with emacs, there's Tramp mode. Although I much prefer to just mount with FUSE and edit the files without Tramp.
