Gerald, Your comments about CFB being slow bother me, and warrant some exploration. Can you provide more detail? Do you have projects set up into a shared dev environment over the network? I can't imagine that would be fast for any IDE.
I have a copy of all my projects locally, I install CF servers locally (4 different server versions), and I update my dev & test servers only by exporting from source control. Having these projects locally lets me do development without screwing with other developers' dev environments. I can't tell you how many times I was refactoring an application's guts at the same time a co-worker was working on a new feature (sorry Alan!). That kind of separation earlier in my career would have really cut down on people yelling at me. nathan strutz [http://www.dopefly.com/] [http://hi.im/nathanstrutz] On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 8:02 AM, Gerald Guido <gerald.gu...@gmail.com>wrote: > > >> Who is being flippant?
