I don't have any affiliation with MM, but I can pretty solidly state that that assertion is crazy talk - if some one was indeed implying that. > As far as I can see, Eclipse doesn't replace MX, it seeks to replace Homesite > and CF Studio perhaps. > I am assuming you are talking about cfeclipse - Our main focus (Spike please chime in if I am way off) was to create an environment that is awesome for the "hand coder". Somewhere you can compile a cfx tag, then start the server with one click, and write a cfc around it. Most of the developers that have worked on it were / are CFStudio fans so that does show through, but we are not specifically going after people who love dreamweaver. The people who dislike dreamweaver, need to have java at their finger tips, or are used to enterprise software but still want to use cfml might want to check it out.
