Open Komodo, is an initiatif, by active state, to open source some of their software. Open Komodo is essentially Komodo Edit. A shrink down version of their IDE. So what happens here is that, they open source thei Komodo Edit, which is cost free anyway. But not much of an ide, but good enough for most task.
The editor, support quite a number of language, such as python, ruby, java, and a few. One notable exception is PHP, which is not in the list. Been testing it with python, because been playing around with django.
The basics is there, such as organize as project, code completion, which is totally useful. But the code completion feature, is a bit not quite there yet. Some code in the directory cannot be imported, using import. don't really work.
Compared to ide, it is a bit barebone, but by then it is a bit like GUI version of emacs, and vi. Probably the reason, why I think it is quite fine.
One thing is it is still alpha, but it quite usable to me now. Probably there is more to come in the future.
One cool thing is, to install open komodo, on linux, any linux, just run the shell script, in shell, chmod +x install.sh
then
./install.sh.
It will copy to your home directory, and create a shortcut at the desktop. to remove it, just remove the Directory created and the shortcut. It's in the README file,
