One of the things that keeps me from moving to the Eclipse is the auto-tab-indenting. I can't remember the exact example, but I think when you write a tag, with attributes on individual lines, each attribute goes in an additional tab. Drives me bonkers. I love putting attributes on different lines.
Just another two cents. ......................

I don't know about this right-clicking business, but I'm using version 5.5). Both Eclipse and Homesite support code snippets. For example, I've got a snippet for aborting. I have a certain procedure that runs at the end of each page request. This goes, obviously, in the OnRequestEnd.cfm template. But when I abort this template doesn't run. Code snippets to the rescue! I type abort and press ctrl+j and I'm given the following: <CFInclude Template="/Include/OnRequestEnd.cfm"> <CFAbort> It's pretty cool. CFEclipse has included a few like ctrl+shift+d but I prefer to type the word dump followed by ctrl+j. I remapped Eclipse's snippet key combo from ctrl+z(?) to ctrl+j so that I could keep my homesite feel that I'm used to. The above example was a simple one, but I've also got a snippet for checking for the existence of a record in the database prior to doing an update. I type check followed by ctrl+j and I get: <CFQuery name="check" datasource="#DataName#"> SELECT * FROM WHERE </CFQuery> <CFIf check.recordcount> <CFQuery name="update" datasource="#DataName#"> UPDATE SET WHERE </CFQuery> <CFElse> <CFQuery name="insert" datasource="#DataName#"> INSERT INTO () VALUES () </CFQuery> </CFIf> Now I just go up and fill in the blanks. It really quite slick. I also like that Homesite has help in-built *that can be used off-line*. I know that CFEclipse has help, but I have to be connected to the internet (not usually a problem), but I've also rarely seen it work properly, and even then it's slow (imo).
