More IDE stuff
August 2nd, 2004 | Programming, Software Development
Ok, so this weekend I hunkered down and spent a lot of time with Komodo 3.0. Overall I think it is nice, but I kept running into problems. One odd problem is after a few hours of use (this happened on two separate occasions) when I would run something, Komodo would report that a file had changed on the file system, and was I sure I wanted to save. This was odd to me because I had not modified anything and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t saving anything… After quitting the app and restarting it (then doing what I was doing before) made the problem go away.
Also, it was kind of a pain to run things. I would be modifying one of the files, and when I would go to run it, I would need to switch the editing pane back to the “main” file in order for the program to run. Wing 2.0 lets me set a “main” file that gets run when I hit the run/debug button.
And speaking of debug, when I ran something in debug mode on Komodo, it was soooooo sloooooooow. Yet running it in “normal” mode was nice and fast and I seemed to have debug control (like it would stop when hitting break points, etc.).
So, after kicking driving it around for a day or so, I think I’ve given Komodo 3.0 a pretty fair shake. Now I’ve switched back to Wing 2.0 (the beta version). Its kinda funny, some of the bells and whistles that Komodo had that made Wing look less appealing, now don’t really seem to matter too much. I think Wing is pretty good.
