There's a few things that I've been frustrated with about both CFS, HS+, and DW... but like Spike said... "working" is subjective. If they say "it does this and costs this much" and you pay that much and it does... then it "works." And DWMX 2k4 is FAR superior to DWMX. Upgrade if you can.
There's some things that just don't make sense to me about DW 2k4, though. Like the lack of integration between the Behaviors tab, cfinput tags, and CFMX's built-in JS validation generator. Those things are linked for us, directly linked, and to have DW refuse to recognize a named CFINPUT tag, a named CFFORM tag, etc., really struck me as being "broken" or even "incomplete." But, I use both DW 2k4 and HS+, in tandem, and I don't mind either one. I mean, there's things about every IDE that I hate, or dislike, or am annoyed by, or had to learn to work around. When someone invents the perfect IDE for something, please let me know and I'll give you every bit of money I can scrape together for it. I think HS:neural would be cool... HomeSite with a neural interface... nifty. Another thing that just never made any sense is the fact that desktop integration for RDS/FTP is built in, but you can't use it for anything but browsing. Why on earth do I want a Macromedia RDS&FTP icon in my computer when I can't use it to upload or download files? Maybe I've been doing something wrong all these years, but for me, even back in the CFStudio 4.0 days... it never friggin worked right. And yeah, after reading Sean's post about the wishlist and bugfix pages, I'll do that. I think these things seem so obvious to me that the fact that they don't work as expected leaves me feeling a little... suspicious or disgusted... but I'm an adaptable guy, and since I have a place to make my beef known, I'll take it there.
