Well personally I use DWMX to layout my pages still and to enter content or
to do textual changes, but once that is done all my coding is then done in
homesite or eclipse.

Rick,

Personal opinion here, but I can't stand visual development. It doesn't give
me the level of control I desire, and it is far to easy for me to open my
template in Firefox and F5 to reload and see my changes. 
WYSIWYG, to me, has always meant 'messy bloat code', as the editors always
seem to overdo what is necessary. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think many of the
CodeWarriors on this list would agree, which is why we steer clear of
WYSIWYG for development. I've had to 'clean' far too many templates some
designer created in DW to ever even think about using it myself, for
anything.

I personally think that CFEclipse is an outstanding product, and will get
even better over time. I know from conversations with Mark Drew that there
are plans for working on the search/find/replace tools, and he has discussed
possibly tying in with the UML modeling tools of Calisto to possibly create
CFC stub code from UML models.

My $.02
