You hit the nail on the head, Dave. Most CF developers never see the CF server, never even see the CF Admin, and never even see the box that the product comes in. This is actually part of why we unbundled the language docs way back when, admins did not want them and developers who did want them did not get them. CF and the IDE are usually used by totally different audiences. Developers using an IDE should have access to a developer edition of CF, which is why they get just that. Truth is, if we bundled an IDE with CF Server, people would complain that they are being made to buy an IDE that they don't want. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 12:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Any way to get Homesite+ 5.5 without Dreamweaver? > Actually, YES.

I really fail to comprehend this at all. You're not paying more than before, you're paying less. You get two products instead of one, but you can choose to use either or both. You want one of those products. Would it make you happy if MM changed the box so that it said "Homesite+ (with Dreamweaver MX)"? > SO - Why not bundle HomeSite with CF instead?
