ActiveState releases Komodo for GNU/Linux

TorinEdge writes "ActiveState has finally released (as in out of Beta) their Komodo IDE for the GNU/Linux platform! Komodo is an integrated dev environment for open source languages. It provides colour-coded editing (and "code-folding" for collapsing sections of code), debugging etc... It's optimized for Perl, Python, PHP, Tcl, and XSLT. Includes the RxToolkit for testing/checking your regular expressions; a godsend. Get it while it's hot!"

• 2.0 Professional Edition $295:
  For commercial or open-source usage. Includes Source Code Control Integration, Visual Package Manager, and ActiveState GUI Builder
  
• 2.0 Personal Edition $29.95:
  For non-commercial, non-open source, and educational usage only.
  

Did anyone else realize that you need to buy the commercial ($300) version to develop open-source applications?! WTF? Even Microsoft isn't that draconian!

I can't believe they'd do something like that, given that ActiveState Perl (a win-32/ISAPI perl port) is their biggest source of revenu!

Free IDE

On my never ending search to get to know different things, I stumbled upon the Anjuta IDE.

Trying Anjuta was my first attempt at using an IDE since a long time -- and frankly, although Anjuta indeed seems to have a lot of features and matter of factly impressed me by unseen things such as mentioned "code folding" it was not my cup of tea, but I believe that was a personal matter. :)

I gave the IDE a try approximately two or three months ago and it seemed to have quite a bit of bugs. Still, if you are developing from within a free operating system and looking for an IDE you might want give it a try before you shell out the bucks for the above mentioned software.
