Of course I do. I mean the ability to not open a page up into the IDE with a single click hardly constitutes it being hard to use - as in hard to work with. You don't really have to setup workspaces you can use the default one and to be honest out of the box it is not harder to work with than DW as you still have to use Sites etc if you want to get the most out of it.
One thing which Eclipse does lack is a design view and possible Firebug integration, if and when it get's that it will be the dogs full stop. I had been using DW since around just before Version 1, I skipped a version when it made the awful decision to merge with Ultradev and then after that I only used it to working in Design view and doing some visual layout for ease of use, I then logically moved to CF Studio and Homesite 5.x/+ and around August 2005 I moved to using Eclipse and I think a very early version of CFEclipse when Rob Rohan etc were developing it and never looked back. What learning curve can it possibly have? I mean once you have setup a project and can get at your files, which probably takes around 5 mins you are editing CF ...so isn't that job done? -----Original Message----- From: Bobby Hartsfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 June 2007 23:46 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CF Editor Seriously Neil? You question that statement at all? Compared to 95% of all editors out there, I think it is obvious that CFEclipse has a bigger learning curve. (the other 5% including editors such as Emacs and VI heh) Out of the box, you can't just open CFEclipse and start editing files for one... you have to set up workspaces and projects either with the files you want to edit or create new files within a project before you can edit them. The whole project based editing is the one big turn-off for most people that say they don't like CFEclipse. <opinion>If it were easy to just install CFE and simply double click a .cfm (that isn't part of an existing project) then edit and save... CFEclipse would be on every developers workstation.</opinion> ...:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
