First, perhaps you shouldn't call it "FukEditor". The actual name is problematic enough. Second, I love CF a lot, but it's not Adobe's flagship product. Third, this kind of thing happens ALL THE TIME. Generally, the first time something's integrated with CF (or almost anything else), the integration is less than optimal. For example, CFFORM generated crappy code for many years (for example, it couldn't be made XHTML compliant). If you don't like the way it's integrated, you have several options: 1. Submit a change request to Adobe. Eventually they'll probably fix it. 2. Use it despite its drawbacks, in the hope that future versions of CF will make it work better; your code will automatically inherit those improvements. 3. Use something else that's not integrated. Note that these aren't entirely mutually exclusive, either. This isn't Alice in Wonderland, whatever that means, but it has nothing to do with business ethics either.
