Barneyb, I agree that it is a very powerful editor in general. Which is why I am actually very interested in moving over to it. I guess my problem is that I am not a super-power user. I don't do all that extra stuff. So perhaps the short comings are on my behalf, not completely on the editors behalf. I should be using better coding techniques; things that will make me more efficient.

Indentation issues are one example of where if falls behind, and there are certainly others. However, since it's built on Eclipse, it's overall capabilities far extend any other tool available, which makes up for the editor's shortcomings by several orders of magnitude. For example, if you need a CFML editor, Subversion integration, a high powered XML editor, Ant support, and UML modelling, you can buy/download several distinct tools and learn each one, or you can buy/download several Eclipse plugins (CFEclipse being one) and have all the tools you need in a single integrated application. That's the real reason for using CFEclipse, if you ask me, because it lets you effectively use a single tool for all your development tasks, rather than switching around between multiple tools. I'd rather have to hit backspace a few extra times than have to be switching applications all over the place, and not being able to, for example, do SVN diffs for any file anytime I want, directly in my editor. cheers, barneyb On 6/8/06, Ben Nadel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mark, > > Please, by NO MEANS change what you are doing for my tabbing issues. > That would be silly, and make me feel bad.
