There was some talk on this list about making homesite opensource, so that it can perhaps be turned into a project on sourceforge (I'm sure there are still some Delphi programmers out there who would be willing to do enhancements). I think in the least perhaps MM can release some pieces of code or standards to make it easier for people to duplicate certain parts of Homesite+ in CFEclipse (RDS comes to mind). I know it will probably eat a little bit away from MM's bottom line on Dreamweaver, but like you said, if there are good UI's available for CF, it might boost server sales. And MM really needs to do something to compete with the 'Big Boys' here. Microsoft is basically giving away licenses to Visual Studio .NET, there are many free Java Editors (such as eclipse), but there aren't any great free CF Editors as far as I know. MM needs to make it easy for schools to teach CF without having to invest (a lot of) money. They can do it with ASP and Java, but not with CF. The developer version of CF Server is great, but where is a development version of the IDE?
