Given that CFML code doesn't have any visual interface - only the HTML that is generated by CFML does - what sort of visual tools would you want to see? As far as it goes, though, there are some tools in there that you might not use or be aware of. Some of the Application objects are pretty extensive (although I don't really like most of them). Did you know that in design view, you can click on a field from a recordset and apply formatting using the appropriate CFML function without even knowing the function, by using the Bindings panel? How about that you can click the "Dynamic" button to bind a SELECT to a recordset? Those are the sorts of things I think of as far as visual tools go. To be perfectly honest, I don't use those sorts of things that much outside of a classroom, since it takes me less time to type code than to use the mouse, but that's more a matter of personal preference than anything else - the code that's generated is identical in many cases.
