I can tell you this and I believe, already have. I mostly write Coldbox applications in CF. It can use its own DI container, Lightwire or Coldspring. I think those are currently the only 3 DI containers in cfml-land anyway. If you can make it properly pick up the models I inject into my service layer using a DI container, show the methods through intellisense and show the arguments that I document via cfargument in those methods and have it work in cfscript, I will happily pay you $300. Ideally I'd like that to work with refactoring as well but the intellisense would be a fine start. Flashbuilder does this when you drop in components, Visual Studio does this using the Unity container when I'm looking at C#. If CFBuilder can do that, I'd consider it a true IDE.
