There's plenty of information on this in the past... Forta has been quite vocal on that subject...
Per Forta, MM depracated cf studio because they figured there's no point in maintaining three web development IDE's. I recon that MM actually felt that two was too many, although their user bases differ. Those of us with a gig of ram and a P4 3 ghz may actually PREFER DWMX... Those of us who hate waiting for an application that's a resource pig to load just to edit a text file feel it's overkill for what we need. Here's an interesting fact. I was comparing CF and PHP a while ago, and came across some threads. Most attributed the success of a cf developer to the excellent IDE that cf developers had. Now that was an uneducated opinion, but still holds some merrit. And now MM phases out the IDE that really made most of us like cf in the first place. MM claims they listen to developers.

I've been pretty vocal in various forums about my disappoinment of losing CF Studio. And yes, I've been using HS+ and been fairly happy with it. I guess I just have this uncomfortable feeling whenever I use it that it's just meant to be there and available to us 'coders' during this transitional period. I don't begrudge MM marketing DWMX, or anybody who wants to use it. But the lack of publicity behind Homesite+ (i mean c'mon...it's not at all a widely known fact that it's included on the DWMX cd) makes it seem that it's not a product that MM is really 'behind'. </ $0.02> charlie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
