A debug tool and a FusionReactor / SeeFusion should be in ColdFusion by default THIS is where more effort needs to be made. I second that sentiment. I've written a few blog posts discussing debugging in CF. It used to be that CF's debugging was among the best for web scripting languages,

That's been the view here as well. The entire state of Florida is standardizing on .NET and we are completely a ColdFusion shop. The only way for us to transition to .NET is to start writing apps in .NET without losing the functionality of our other apps. I'm not saying New Atlanta doesn't
