He3 is not a paid for install; it is freely available from our web site,
while it is in beta. When it is released there will continue to be a free
edition.

At present, the public beta has less CFML-specific functionality than
CFEclipse. However, remember that the currently available version of He3 is
0.7.4, while CFEclipse is at 1.1.14. Those version numbers should imply the
difference in maturity. It's hard to compare something in beta to an actual
release, so I hope you will hold off your judgment until we are done.

Just to clarify here, He3 is an IDE and not a plugin. Technically, He3 is
implemented as a set of plugins for Eclipse, but then again Eclipse itself
is implemented as a set of plugins for Eclipse. I mean you wouldn't call
CFMX a Java class just because it is implemented as a set of Java classes.
Anyway, the real point here is that CFEclipse --as I understand it-- aims to
provide CFML support for Eclipse. This is different than He3 in which we aim
to provide an IDE for CFML development. CFML development includes more than
just CFML; it also includes HTML, SQL, JS, CSS, XML, Fusebox, Mach-II, etc.
