Because its 3 years old is a good reason.. to a level I guess. also if you are using it for a language (cfml) that is changing and getting new features. If you are just after an editor you can stick with it... but if you need more of an IDE switch to CFEclipse MD On 3/9/06, Jon Block [EMAIL

I love CFE, but I can't get away from HS. It's just perfect for me. There is no way for me to be as productive and as efficient as when I'm developing with HS. I've been using it for so long that my brain automatically uses my code templates and keyboard shortcuts for all kinds of things. I've

If it works for you and you never get to some point where you ask yourself why does it not have feature XYZ then I say just stay with it. About 1-2 years ago I forced myself to switch from Homesite/CFStudio to DWMX. The reason I forced myself to do it was because I saw that a lot of people were
