Let�s face it Macromedia has been tripping out for a minute now. About 9 � 11 months ago I spent about 10 minutes of my time responding to a macromedia�s ColdFusion survey and I have yet to see the results. I would like to know what did the ColdFusion Developers community ask for and did they give us what we requested or did they give us the rest of what they did not have time to include in the first MX release. What�s in it for us is a great question and based on the marketing hype it doesn�t seem like much. Would you all agree, that us ColdFusion developers deserve some love too!! For the past year and a half haven�t you all felt marginalized. Sure ColdFusion MX sports a bunch of new features that are fantastic and the as for old advanced features � they�re tighter than ever. I'm loving cffunction, I'm all over cfc's, and ColdFusion's ability to integrate with FLASH is the best thing since the last "best thing". However, despite all of these wonderful improvements in the server application, I'm still not convinced that they have committed to providing us with a solid "Development Environment" that supports the work habits of the sophisticated ColdFusion Developer. Think about. Dreamweaver, a designer�s tool has �component browsing� but Homesite doesn�t. What is up with that? ColdFusion Studio 5 was great because to me, it was well aligned with ColdFusion 5 the server. Dreamweaver still seems to be an overkill designers solutions. Homesite 5.5 looks to be moving in the direction of a very �good� HTML editor, and as for Contribute, it must have been the boses, daughter's boyfriend cousin's idea. So I understand the product flaming. From a strategic perspective, MACR seems to be dating PHP, sleeping with Designers, smooching with ASP, tickling with Microsoft and taking us poor old committed, loyal, and faithful ColdFusion developers for granted. Give me a Studio 5 upgrade that includes a tab for browsing components and I'll be OK at least for minute. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
