Mark, the only thing that is keeping me from really trying CFE is the problem where the snippets panel throws errors until you open a CF document, close the snippet view, then re-open the snippet view.
Has this been fixed yet?

I wrote it.. I got to like it!) 5) I dont like something with it? I can change it and add things to it. 6) CF had code folding etc before DW 8 even come out! 7) Doing event gateways?? damn, I can write the Java, CFC and CF required 8) you can integrate CFUnit (using Ant) with it 9) Integrated browser (you dont need to alt+tab) 10) you can run flex builder 2 in the SAME IDE!!! 11) CVS, VSS, SVN integration. There are many downfalls I am sure, but there are things I want to add to compete with DW to CFEclipse, things that come to mind: 1) Integration to the CF server to add debugging (maybe integrating into the starfish reporter from Ray 2) Component browsing of the server 3) Component browsing of local files (without requiring a server) 4) Integration of snippets into CFLib 5) compile CF as you write (or even as an external tool.. this is possible, just havent figured out how to get it working right) 6) Toolbars and custom toolbars (working on this) 7) Local CFDocs (again working on this) rather than the piss poor docs in DW The goals of DW and CFEclipse are slightly different, so it is also horses for courses. I do use DW and it is pretty awesome (now..well..since October?). We are working hard to get CFE to do *everything* that someone could want to do.. and all you need do is ask or get involved to make it better.
