Ben: I'm in the same boat as you! (...Seriously...)
I've been using HomeSite+ (HS+) for YEARS, since I started working with CF 4.52! I have tried repeatedly to make the transition to Aptana / CFEclipse and now CFBuilder countless times, only to come back running to HS+. It just works and it works FAST! It's PERFECT for me... My biggest issues with moving away from HS+ is that the functionality that I use the most, like "Select Full Tag" and "Edit Tag" don't work nearly as well - or at all - in the aforementioned other editors. It's plain and simple; I can't work efficiently without this functionality. However, I've been actively participating with the CFEclipse Team via their Google Group and they have been listening to my feedback and even incorporating my needs into their nightly builds. In other words, they are listening and actually implementing what I need. We're not 100% there yet, but we're getting closer with each nightly build. With any patience diligence, I will be able to move to CFEclipse within a month or two... So, my advice to you is to join their Google Group and present your needs to the CFEclipse Team, and who knows - maybe they will build you the tool that you need. http://groups.google.com/group/cfeclipse-users Just my $.02!

Hi, Ive been using homesite for my coldfusion development now for years (does anyone else still use it? id be interested), i have often attempted to swap to eclipse or (more lately) cfbuilder but i find that i spend so much more time trying to get used to the apps that i end up reverting when i need to get some work done quickly, then im hooked back on homesite and the circle begins again. (I also spend ages trying to make everything look like homesite :-)) I really would like to change to something more up to date, does anyone have any suggestions / tips on how and what i should use (especially for MURA development). I also use a mac which i flip between dreamweaver and cfbuilder any ideas there? Also and please nobody scream, but i do a lot of my live development lately of ftp (or sometimes RDS) - my dev work is mainly for my works local intranet. So Homesites FTP is awesome compared to modern apps (they just don't make em like they used to :-).
