>the consensus seemed to be that a CF IDE needs to either be Eclipse based >(aligned well with Flex Builder and more) or Dreamweaver based (or possibly both)
My vote is Eclipse. I never liked DW and used CFS from it's start but quickly switched to CFEclipse when it came about. CFEclipse needs a design view to help those people that like the WYSIWYG look and feel, but other than that it's a great IDE. Upgrading DW or CFS is simply crazy in light of Delphi. That has been a long standing problem and Macromedia never wanted to address it. It's simply time for these IDEs to die off. We are, as programmers, 'creatures of habit' but change is a good thing. It's time to move on. There will also be diehards in this, but I think Adobe needs to make a decision and clear this up once and for all. Eclipse has a broader range support base. With Flex/AIR using Eclipse it makes for a nice standard IDE for all these Adobe technologies. I'm also assuming Adobe has some very experience Eclipse guys now. Given the cool features in FB3, I could only assume Adobe could make CFEclipse even better. It would be great if it were free, but frankly I make money with CF development so I would have no problem paying a fair price for an IDE specially if it helps keep the server pricing down.
