True it's an opinion, however while semantics aside, I realize that CF developers have done well without and IDE, but then again, many of them graduate to real languages with real IDE's, to paraphrase...
I view the lack of an effective IDE as a shortcoming of CF, albeit that you can develop with no IDE at all is certainly a good thing, but then you can use notepad for Java too, can't you? :P And the sad thing is that CF Studio IS not that impressive, yet remains on some levels more impressive than DW. /shrug - Calvin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Watts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 8:40 PM Subject: RE: Homesite + question > > In another discussion, in a galaxy far far away, I made > > the observation that the success of CF long term definitely > > rests upon having a good CF IDE. > > I would argue that this is an opinion, rather than an observation.
