Hi Steve I use cfbuilder 3 on my local development of applications (Win 7 machine). Having migrated from using Homesite (which I still use for its ease of extended find/replace across entire web projects)
I am not very impressed with cfbuilder. It could be very useful and has some promise but I would not pay money for it again, and if you already have a template editor you like don't waste your time trying to get a free version working. While you can select a range of editor preferences color coding etc. You will have varying and frustrating results with many preferences not sticking after you close and reopen the program. The syntax error reporting and color coding is insanely erroneous and unhelpful. Many of these bugs have had multiple bug reports made at Adobe but nothing has been done The built in FTP is so complex to setup, I gave up and went back to an external FileZilla program. For a relative beginner to the deeper complexity and power of CF (despite having used it for many years) I found it very difficult to find the settings that control many of the preferences. Seemed like I am using "confusion builder" rather than "coldfusion builder" Rob Robert J. Voyle, Psy.D.
