From ActiveState's website:
" * Non-commercial use is defined as tasks for which you are not paid. 
If you are using Komodo as part of your job, you must purchase Komodo
Professional."

Well, that probably covers many of us.  So, yes, it's still *very*
pricey.  
For an IDE that only supports a few scripting languages, it's *way* too
expensive.
Something like Arachno Ruby or Eclipse + RDT or RadRails probably makes
more sense.
