For example: Suppose you need to have 15 CFPARAM's at the top of a template for the form variables coming from the last template. The Studio IDE is pretty hopeless in this respect - you can't pull the database fields while you are in Studio's CFPARAM tag generator, and you have to cut and paste (or retype) for each of your 15 form variables/ database fields you want included. By contrast, you should be able to pop a CFPARAM data bound control on your template, simply drag the 15 data fields from the database fields shown in the database tab onto the CFPARAM data bound object and generate the 15 named CFPARAM tags automatically, so all you have to do is go through and replace 'value1', 'value2' etc with the correct default values. For other tags such as text edits etc the idea would be even more productive and powerful. Basically it is like data bound controls in VB or Delphi. I emailed Allaire a few times telling them I had a lot of really good productivity ideas for Cold Fusion and a business plan for a company to do it commercially to produce a next-generation CF studio editor, but they don't seem particularly interested. They never replied to my emails 3 months ago.
