I got the sense talking to some Adobe people at Max that a large chuck of customers were clamoring for an IDE. I would seem that the group of customers that don't participate in the community, (that vast majority) but that Adobe reaches out to through sales and support, want this.
I was originally very opposed to the idea, mostly because I felt it was a waste of resources that they could be putting to CFVideo, or CFAir. But since part of ColdFusion continued health depends on keeping large numbers of paying customers happy, the IDE does sound like a smart move for them. Terrence Ryan I.T.

CFS wasn't an IDE either, it was an HTML Editor (called HomeSite) with some CFML widgits tacked on. Don't get me wrong. I'm _GLAD_ Adobe is taking customer requests seriously (no, really!)... I guess I'm surprised that a IDE is at the top of the list of "serious issues." That being said, maybe clarification should have been "IDE for *nix" or something. Just seems weird that anyone would think about reinventing the wheel when the wheel has already been made and rolling for some time with and without Adobe official stamp on it (I'm speaking of DW/CFEclipse).
