I agree with Steve here... if you want a free IDE that works great for CF (and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) development... Aptana + CFBuilder is the way I would go (and have gone). Aptana is one simple install... then add CFBuilder and you are done.

At the time I got started at my current position, CF Builder was still early beta, and for some who aren't used to the full blown Eclipse environment, installs and config can be cumbersome. So for the last year+ I've been using Aptana Studio (which is another watered-down/preset Eclipse install for web devs) in combination with the CFEclipse plugin. It has been a good alternative.

I've been using it sense before it went Beta. I was a user of CF Eclipse before that so the move to CF Builder was pretty easy (as they both are build on Eclipse). I am not a fan of Dreamweaver as it is a resource hog and has a ton of stuff that I just don't need as a developer. I just want to write code and use an IDE that makes that job as easy and efficient as possible. CF Builder does the trick!! Bad news though... I don't think CF Builder comes with CF9 unless you purchase it bundled that way perhaps. CF Builder requires its own license key so if you have one of those keys that came with your purchase of CF9, then you may be in luck. In that case, you could just download the trial version and plug in your key and it should work just fine. Hope that helps.

How do you like it compared to Dreamweaver? We recently installed CF9. I understand ColdFusion 9 comes with ColdFusion Builder, but we do not see it on our installation image. Can anyone point me to its location? I see a lot of info on ColdFusion Builder 2 Beta, but not on version 1.
