Possibly, but then that doesn't mesh with the following official statement: "Dreamweaver MX is the primary development tool for users building applications with ColdFusion MX"
You'll find that here: http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/productinfo/faq/general/ Of course I could build a ColdFusion site with Notepad too! :P Thanks, Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Sean Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 7:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: John Dowdell Wants to Know What's Wrong with Macromedia On Thu, 13 Jan 2005 16:17:05 -0500, Calvin Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > However, I still find that DW lacks a great deal that it should have since > it is the declared ColdFusion editor of choice by the maker of ColdFusion. Bzzzt! Nope. Not "the" editor. I think you'll find the official line is that it's meant to be "a" ColdFusion editor and that it's meant to have enough functionality that CFers don't actually *need* anything beyond DW (they may *want* more but that's a different story). In other words, if you're building a web site and using CF, you *could* use DW as your only IDE. Read Ben Forta's CFDJ article on Dreamweaver: http://www.sys-con.com/coldfusion/article.cfm?id=696 "So, is Dreamweaver MX 2004 the best tool for ColdFusion developers, and if I was asked to say so now would I be able to do so? I think I'd have to answer that with a qualified "possibly." It is probably not the best tool for all ColdFusion developers, but for many it is. Is Dreamweaver MX 2004 a replacement for ColdFusion Studio? Absolutely not (and I know that some Macromedia sales reps spin Dreamweaver that way, and they're wrong). If it was, we'd not include HomeSite+ with every copy of Dreamweaver bought, would we? The reason we provide both products is that there is value in both, and as a ColdFusion developer you get to pick which works best for you, using one or both as suits you best. (Yes, if you are a Windows Dreamweaver user, then you already have a copy of HomeSite+ that you may use too; it's included with Dreamweaver but needs to be installed separately.)" -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 5 invites to give away!
