Mark Kruger, I believe Mark Drew was referring to the fact CFEclipse is an IDE and not an editor. Homesite was good in its time and is still fast and reliable. Homesite+ is still favored by many. Homesite is more of a text editor as it does not provide interactivity to your enevironment other than FTP and RDS.
The seperation of CFEclipse boils down to an IDE where your development tool is introspecting your work other than tag insight and code completion. Eclipse by itself provides you the ability to customize how to treat multitudes of file types, source control, ftp, inline validation, browing, debugging ... etc into one tool. In the past you would need multiple programs to handle everything besides your editor, the climate change is to have one interface that can interpret or be customized to interpret your development style. Eclipse with CFEclipse does bring a higher learning cuve than Homesite, but the benefits of tool integration should motivate most developers to learn a new unified tool. In the end, it is the choice of the developer and they may use Eclipse or they may not. It is their choice unless their employer or client has a way to mandate their development environment. Simply put, use what makes you productive, but try something new to make sure that you are not missing out on different ways to be productive.
