> HomeSite? DW? Notepad?
Ask a 100 CFers and get 200 different answers :)
I think Nathan's response is probably the most useful - different
editors for different situations.
Personally (so this may not be useful!), I never liked HomeSite / CFS
although I could never quite put my finger on why so I've always used
DW for all my CF development (and PHP development and HTML design /
layout / CSS - I use Contribute for general content editing on static
sites). I used jEdit for a while (for CF) when DWMX came out because,
well, the Mac version sorta sucked. When the DWMX6.1 updater came out,
I switched back to DW (huge speedups on Mac). When DWMX2004 came out I
upgraded and stuck with it even tho' it was a bit sucky until the
7.0.1 updater came out (again, big speedups!).
Right now I'm trying to use He3 for all my CF development - mostly so
I can provide feedback to RichPalette - although I usually have DW
open too to handle FTP interaction with the myriad websites I have
defined there.
I've had some problems with Eclipse / CFEclipse - Spike et al know
about them and are working hard to fix the CFEclipse issues. I find
Eclipse itself to be very clunky - He3 does a better job of hiding
stuff than CFEclipse although if you dig around, you can make the view
pretty clean in CFEclipse too (it's just not as obvious how).
As a Mach II developer, I find He3's support for Mach II very
appealing (and unique in IDEs). It also has good support for FB4 with
full fusebox and circuit XML grammars (so you get tag insight specific
to FB4 - very neat!).
