They're the ones most likely never to have used it! I wrote CF code for
years before Studio existed, using "Visual Notepad". Knowing a language
isn't the same as knowing the features of an IDE. In any case, I don't use
the query builder even now that I know about it - if you're using stored
procedures, or really anything beyond a basic SELECT query, it's not all
that helpful. I suppose I could figure out how to do subqueries in the query
builder, or how to use aggregate functions, but it's easier for me just to
type it out.

There are, of course, quite a few useful features in Studio, but to me, the
beauty of CF programming is that it's so simple, you don't really need an
IDE.
