For what it's worth, I think the product should sell for less (and separately than FlashBuilder if necessary to get it there) but not for this reason. If you really look at what CFB is doing, there's a lot that is not just building off what already exists and I have no doubt a lot of work went into making it. It's been rushed to market a tad premature perhaps, but it's certainly not just a CFEclipse retread. I just wish Adobe would see that for the language to be successful, they need to do more to attract developers. A low-priced IDE could have really helped in that respect. The pricing on this product seems once again solely focused on the existing market, not towards growing it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
