Hehe. To this date I've shunned CFSTUDIO etc in favour of my all time
king of all windows editors, namely Textpad. It's got syntax
highlighting and a simple yet very effective macro system that's
perfect for e.g. writing mach-II getters and setters or automating
cfqueryparams of different kinds.
After working with CFM pretty much every working day since I started
in 1996, I consider myself reasonably intimate with the language.
I don't use the manual too much, I know pretty much all the tags,
although the order of the parameters in functions like datediff and
datecompare have stuck to a teflon patch in my brain; i.e., not.
So I keep the CFMX reference manual shortcut at close hand. It
typically takes me something like 45 seconds to find what I'm looking
for - the 6.1 version of it is just so much better than all previous
versions of the manual, I'm completely in love ;).
Oh, and yes, to this date I have never used CFGRID in a commercial
setting. I think I tried it in one of the first versions and then
considered it a dud. If someone didn't want to hire me for this, then
I'm probably better off staying away from them anyway.
Cheers,
Jørgen
