Steve (and Chis, the OP)- I also tried and liked the Intellij IDEA CFML plugin for awhile. I ended up choosing Sublime Text, but Intellij is a great tool. Still, I would read the below thread before evaluating Intellij's CFML plugin. It seems that JetBrains has stopped making updates to the CFML plugin and are open sourcing it back into the community. It remains to be seen whether anyone will pick that project up and continue to maintain it in the long term.
