Matt,

The key in to ensure that I can can get a feel for functionality without slogging my way through a project setup. (Perhaps bundle a series of simple "Hello, World!" projects that can be used to get a feel for things.) Once I'm sold, the minor investment in setup time won't be a big deal.

Throwing out ideas:

- Let me tell the app which files contain vital settings (hopefully, there won't be more than a few per project), and optionally (by default?) remind me to check my project settings when changes are made to those files.

- Let me define the settings in the project info, and then automatically insert the values into my files wherever I enter something like [$He3.CFCpath$]. If I change the value, sweep through and update my code.
