I've been using Visual Web Dev(2005 Express, is there another version?) lately. One thing to keep in mind is that it's for .Net 2.0 and from the info I've found on the web, you can't make it only play with 1.0 or 1.1.
Not a big deal but worth noting if you're building something for a 1.0/1.1 environment. As for your CF problem, give MM/Adobe a call or drop them an email, I'm sure they'll work out a deal to get you up to 7. Heck, what have they got to lose?! There's also BlueDragon, I'm suprised no one has mentioned that so far in the thread.

Why not stick with CF 4.5.1 SP2? That's pretty much what I've done...4.5 is the first and only version of CF I've ever owned and it's done everything I've needed, and more than most clients could even fathom it could be used for. However, I do know that "things, they are a changin' " and I don't want to get too far behind technologically. Besides, I do get bored and like to get into new stuff. :o) Visual Web Developer seems to be a nice tool (I say that only after using a trial version) if someone is using ASP.NET...it integrates nicely. I may change that tune after using it more, however. I tried (the 4th time) to use Dreamweaver, but it was lacking as a visual design tool. I didn't like the price...too high for what I got out of it, and didn't like working with CF components, anyway. But if I migrate to coding ASP.NET, I'll need to start with components, then move on into more hand coding as I did when starting with CF. I let the components do the work at first, then study what they've done, then write it myself so I can get finer control and more functionality from the code. CF has been good to me and I'll keep using it, at least for awhile. But in the meantime, I'll be giving ASP.NET, Visual Web Developer, and probably SQL Server Express and thorough shakedown.
