The user interface is simple and straightforward, and pages can be previewed easily right in the program or through different browsers. I also appreciate the simple and real-time debugging features. Cons So far, there haven't been attributes that I don't like. More online documentation and resources would be helpful, however.

I cannot fault this software and have used it for many years now as my primary code editor for web development. Pros The software is easy to install. The installation process is the same as any other piece of software. The editor has a number of advanced code editing features that are essential for web development. Komodo IDE allows you to use multiple tabs with different coding languages on each tab. This is great for multitasking. Tabs can be bookmarked and will reopen from a previously closed sessions. The find and replace capabilty is a life saver! You can search through an individual file or many different files for specific segments of code. All of this comes FREE! Cons There are so many powerful features within Komdo IDE that can make the software a little more demanding on my desktop system than other code editors. Switched from [Adobe Dreamweaver](https://www.capterra.com/p/233245/Adobe-Dreamweaver/) Switching from Dreamweaver to Komodo IDE was a decision based on self improvement as a developer. Dropping Dreamweaver's WYSIWYG features to write more efficient code and gain a better understanding of web development as a whole.

I got this IDE because when I was learning python the tutorial I'm following uses this IDE. There are many customization features in this that let's me read my code much easier than just using a plain editor. Cons Not much complaints about this except it could be bit overwhelming for beginners such as myself. There are some options that you might need to fix from the default before you start coding or you might encounter some problems later on. All of this might seem easy for those who code regularly but for those who don't might be quite confusing(especially from coding on plain text) .

It's a great tool that keeps getting better. Pros I've used a lot of IDEs over the years and this is one of my favorites. It works well, has support (syntax highlighting, etc) for every language I've used it for, and has worked well on every time of machine and OS. The interface is clean and minimalist yet has lots of options for customization. Once I got it set up for my work flow, it has been a real time saver. There is also a free "edit" version for home use or special projects. They regularly push out new versions. Cons The top menu is so small and compact it can be hard to pick what you are looking for. It could be more efficient. While I like that remote editing (via FTP) is available, servers seem to work one day and not the next. It may have a bit of a learning curve for a beginner.
