Howard, I forced myself to switch to Studio MX from Cold Fusion Studio 5 when it was released. Months later, and a jar full of complaints, I can honestly say that Dreamweaver MX does not meet the high standards that Studio 5 set.
Dreamweaver is great for designers and n00bs. Like Forta said at devCon, advanced cold fusion developers are the minority. We can't really expect MM to develop products only a small percentage of the industry will use. :( It does have some great drag-n-drop features with cold fusion MX, if you are into that sort of thing. Call me old fashioned, but I ENJOY writing code. But alas, I think you'll be disappointed. Definitely check out the trial before you move your projects over.

Some time in the next year, we'll upgrade our servers to MX, so I will want to upgrade my development environment, too. Currently, I have Studio5 and the dev version of the server for 5.0. I also have UltraDev, but rarely use it. I do all of my coding (and very little design) in Studio. That's the way I like it. Should I upgrade to Studio MX? Will I like it if I love the current version of Studio, or does the "homesite" aspect of Studio disappear? If it does, but I get MX anyway, can I retain the install of Studio5 (without any hassle, such as fussing with the registry), or does MX overwrite/take over 5? Should I upgrade to the latest version of HomeSite instead? I assume there is a demo/single-license version of MX server I can download. Would my best option be to just stick with Studio5 and download the MX server? If I do this, is there some place I can get VTMs and help files and documentation for new tags? Thanks.
