I wouldn't go so far as to call it black magic. Requests for that file are automatically handled by the RDS servlet. The RDS servlet is used when you connect with an RDS client, like Dreamweaver or CF Studio/Homesite+, or when you use the Java applet filesystem browsers within the CF Administrator. The file /CFIDE/Main/ide.cfm need not exist for RDS to work - the server simply detects that URL pattern and automatically routes the request to the RDS servlet. If you did have an ide.cfm file (some versions of CF did actually create one) it would be empty in any case.
