  "the best free multi-platform programmer's editor on osx"

  October 18, 2011  |   By dumb0x

  Version: Komodo Edit 6.1.2

  Pros

  ~ free / open source
  ~ dozens of languages built-in
  ~ syntax highlighting
  ~ syntax checking
  ~ predictive auto-completion
  ~ tabbed windowing
  ~ lots of time saving features
  ~ drag and drop interface
  ~ built-in HTML preview
  ~ code collapse
  ~ projects
  ~ built-in ftp
  ~ customizable / configurable
  ~ works on osx, win, and linux and provides identical user experience across all three
  
  I teach web design at a h.s. with mac osx workstations. It was a nightmare finding a good programmer's editor for osx that didn't do *too much* for my students (so they would actually learn how to code), yet had "training wheels" like syntax highlighting, was affordable for my school, and was multi-platform (so they could work at home on their projects also).
  
  To the reviewer who said it is not free: you are confusing Komodo *IDE* with Komodo *Edit*. Komodo Edit is free (no-trial) and open source and can be downloaded from ActiveState's website. Komodo IDE is a commercial product built on top of Komodo Edit.

  Cons

  ~ I wish it hooked in to HTMLTidy / the W3C HTML syntax checker natively.
  ~ The ftp connector is useful for experts, but confusing for beginners who need to modify a local copy, then "push" it to the server.

  Summary

  This is *the* way to go if you are looking for a programmer's editor that is free and runs on osx or on several platforms.

  "Price: Free?"

  January 20, 2011  |   By machouse

  Version: Komodo Edit 6.0.3

  Pros

  I have no idea.

  Cons

  If you go to their website, it says that the price is $295. It's not a free product, is it? Providing a 21-day trial version doesn't make it a free product.
