Indeed - I just wanted to try and help clarify the purpose of cfusion.... which means that even in development it's intent was not actually meant for developing against.
But again, if it's working for you, and you're happy, keep using it. As an aside, after we perform a multi-server install (whether it be dev, test, stage, qa, production), we shut down cfusion and never use it again, Ever.
