Its not an attitude...just an opinion. I am also not a big fan of open source products in general. I have recommended cfeclipse to people as it is not a bad product over all...I just don't like it. I couldn't get...or at least figure out how to get, the cf part to work right. I found the interface to be very non-intuitive and hard to use. It does have potential. I do like the fact that I can use it for multiple platforms...that is pretty cool, though right now, I am not doing anything but cf, so that does kill some of the cool factor for that. Packaged installs would be good. I think a lot of us just don't like the whole Linux/open source way of doing things when software is concerned. I find most gnu licensed products are more trouble that they are worth to install and get running(mysql being an exception). I find a lack of consistency since you have multiple independent programmers working on it. The concept is great, but like many things, they look better on paper. Don't take it personally ;-) You do have a strong following that really like cfeclipse.
