I totally agree with all of that Charlie. I was just making a poor attempt at being funny. Still, the comment might have some merit.
Oh, I remember the good old days of HomeSite and CF4 (I started CF when v4 first released). I used HomeSite and ColdFusion Studio back in the day. I did switch over to DW when Macromedia came along and then I switched to CFEclipse. The ONE thing I missed about DW was the handy FTP upload/sync functionality. Along came Aptana and my prayers were answered. I've been using Aptana with CFEclipse. Now we have Bolt/CF Builder coming around. I've been using the Beta of it as my primary development tool sense alpha... I'm liking it and it is getting better with every build. I really see no reason for HomeSite... other than to use in place of notepad where you are not really wanting to install a full blown IDE perhaps (on a server or temporary workstation) maybe. ?? If anyone has a suggestion for a light weight IDE (now that HomeSite is going away) for such an occasion, shoot.

Well, I don't know. I think it's just that it was written in Delphi, and perhaps Adobe doesn't have enough (or want to bother with) Delphi skills to keep it going. It was brought forward from Allaire, and when Macromedia already had DW it kind of spelled the beginning of the end. The first step was the removal of ColdFusion Studio as a product (which was just a repackaged version of HomeSite), when Dreamweaver and other tools got rolled into the "MX" line. Of course, CF Studio really did live on, though many didn't realize it, in the guise of HomeSite+, which you couldn't buy but was on the DW CD (until CS3, I believe). Most CFers were pointed instead to DW, and then CFEclipse came along. I would often point people to HS+, at which they were amazed to learn it was still there, but most didn't know about it. HomeSite (without the +) did live on and could be purchased. And its audience was probably hardly any CFers, given the options above. So I don't know if Bolt/CFBuilder was any influence. I really think it's just part of the economic times, and the Delphi issue, etc. But these are just guesses and insights from my experience. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Wes Byrd Sent: Saturday, July 04, 2009 1:21 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFu...I mean Homesite is dead! Yes. I'm sure that has something to do with its replacement.. CF B.... I mean Bolt. :-) Wes From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Knudsen Sent: Saturday, July 04, 2009 12:34 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFu...I mean Homesite is dead! http://www.adobe.com/products/homesite/ Seems like Homesite is getting the boot for good now.
