Komodo as a editor?

[Robert]

I am evaluating Komodo as an editor for work. I am doing a lot of Perl
work as a sysadmin and am starting to get into Perl/Tk as well. We use
PVCS for version control and I see Komodo integrates with that.

All that to say "Do you use it and what do you think about it?".

Dude, editors are tools. Some people like this tool, some people like that
tool. It is personal and religious and is a matter of habit. My favorite
editor is vi. There is nothing better, AFAIC. It is my primary tool
for the past 12 years. I think emacs, M$word and all other editors out
there are garbage... But hey, this is just me... you might think otherwise.
You might have (or will) get used to some other editor. Try this Komodo
thingy and see for yourself if you like it or not.....

I haven't tried Komodo, but I've read it's good. I like optiPerl, myself,
even though you have to change a lot of settings to get it to work well. It
might be the same way with komodo too, a lot of those dlls, etc are
traded/sold from company to company, but if you want to try it, try it
man...

I tried OptiPerl and it seemed a little sluggish. This was about a year
ago. What I looking at that most is the UI builder in Komodo.

I will take a look at OP again though.

Thanks,

I think comp.editors is a better place to ask this question.

yeah, Optiperl is a bit sluggish, I'll have to try komodo.

Huh?!? I know that (i) you're clearly stating it's just you, and (ii)
vi and emacs are the immortal contenders in the everlasting flame
about the best (*NIX) editor, but said this, isn't it just a bit too
extreme to put emacs side by side with a made-in-Redmond-wp in the
garbage?

I do not use emacs myself, but your claim sounds to me just like if
one were a declared *bsd fan claiming that in his opinion Linux and M$
Windoze are garbage...

You should give eclipse a try. It's free, very powerful and has a nice
Perl plugin, called epic (http://e-p-i-c.sourceforge.net/), with
automatic completion, real-time error messages (while you type) etc.

Download eclipse 2.1.2. Then install the perl plugin via the update
manager, with http://e-p-i-c.sourceforge.net/updates (or Eclipse 3.0M8
with the epic 3.0 patch).

PS: Eclipse does not support PVCS, but why not use CVS or subversion?
