Actually I like Komodo ... Sadly it might not survive the next 5 years

I may not care in five years, but assuming I do it isn't likely to suddenly stop working the day ActiveState stop actively supporting it.

Neither do I, I like both Python and vim.

It's the community which has nasty habits.°

And there is usually a direct correlation between their own skills on the tool and the desire of badmouthing others.*

Like I know a guy who can barely write a page of Python but keeps telling everyone that Perl is only a bunch of Regex.

I'm an outspoken Anti-FUD activist, stoicism won't stop this.

°) I don't like PHP tho, but I don't hold it against it's users.

I didn't appreciate how really and truly awful PHP is until I was involved in porting a large website, hand rolled in PHP, to Drupal. After that experience my somewhat informed opinion of PHP is pretty low.

Python on the other hand is a capable language. A pity about the version 2/3 debacle. Its biggest down side is the "One True Way" philosophy which seems to extend, as you imply, to the Python community's intolerance of any other way.
