I guess with any *new* thing there is a learning curve, and people showing you how to use it always helps.
I am thinking of running some session on CFEclipse, mainly if people are interested on how to convert to it... FYI: if you dont like working with projects, we went to all the trouble and effort to put a File Explorer that works like homeSite so no excuse there. At my presentation at CFDevCon, I asked a question that sometimes when I read this list I have to remind myself, "Who wouldn't use CFEclipse even if I PAID them?". There are people that are not going to change whatever we do to make your coding life easier. Even if it got to the stage of "Just talk to CFEclipse, it will listen and nod, then go and write your application for you whilst you have coffee (using YOUR crazy coding habits)" there would still be people out there going "But I like homesite... it didnt LISTEN to me... I LIKED that!". Its just the way some people are used to their tools. Personally I am pretty adaptable (oh, in textMate the Ctrl + Shift + L inserts a link? cool.. must remember that, rather than emailing the person and saying to change the dammed shortcut y'hear, or I WONT use your FREE product.. so nyer!) so I like learning new tools, seeing what they can do and then using the right tool for the job. The benefits of CFEclipse projects are that once you have all your files grouped into projects you can do fast searches for a file, or in a file (thats in a selection, in a project, or in the whole dammed workbench, or even just in one of your selection sets!) pretty easily... just because the gui isn't what you expected (dammit, you CHANGED tools what do you expect???), adapt. Anyway.. wasn't meant to be a rant... and please dont take it as so...
