Thanks very much for the CFEclipse feedback as well.
On a separate topic, where could I find a listing of CF7 VENDORERRORCODE numbers, there descriptions, and perhaps suggested resolutions? Currently trying to deal with VendorErrorCode 208...which seems to show up anytime my CF5 code has a query of a query (ie: dbtype = "query"). Any suggestions?

Homesite? Some other editor?) I'll do a brief overview: Pros -------- - Free (that's a wonderful word) - It basically does everything that studio does (color coding, help, bookmarks, etc) - It's extremely customizable - from snippets, shortcuts, layout, etc. Just a very tweakable interface - Constantly being updated by the developers of CFEclipse (and it's open source so the support is tremendous) - They finally have an RDS plugin that works very well - You can add additional plugins such as CSS, Javascript, Database, etc. These are updated frequently so you're constantly able to get the most updated code libraries for color coding, auto completion, etc - Much better integration with VSS using the source safe plugin Cons -------- - Not all of the plugins work all that great (like the WebDAV/FTP synchronization plugin - I can never get it to work) - You can't just open a file in there, you have to open a random file in the scribble pad which takes some getting used to (eclipse requires that you create projects and you can edit files within your projects) - Can't seem to get an FTP/WebDAV plugin to function properly Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get away from DW (buggy) or just looking to move up to a similar environment from Homesite/CFStudio. I used to absolutely love Studio (and I still use it occasionally simply for the included help files), but I would have to say that after having used CFEclipse for over a year now, I think I like it better than the other ones currently out there. For the record, I like CFStudio, Homesite, and Eclipse (I'm fond of text-style editors and not a big fan of drag and drop stuff) and I'm NOT fond of DW...

Allen, Can you share with the group what functionality you like MOST about Eclipse with the CF Eclipse plugin. That is as opposed to the CF Studio or Homesite+ CF functionality.
