Like I said earlier. Editplus with the Coldfusion syntax and Autocomplete
files is a KILLER combo.

Unfortunately, there isn't any good CF editor out there. Now that HomeSite
is defunct, we're pretty much all screwed.

Dreamweaver is evil. It crashes often and is slow to open and sometimes
won't open a drive's contents after you choose it from the dropdown, but at
least it opens. It's probably worth mentioning that it's criminally
expensive.

CF Eclipse has lots of nice features, and if it didn't use over 400MB of RAM
+ VM (not an exaggeration), I think it might even be considered usable.
Unfortunately, the massive Java bloat, that would be funny if it werent so
sad, makes the editor responsive/usable only to those who have 2GB+ of RAM
(unless you want to run your own CF Dev instance on the box in which case
I'd go for 3GB+) which can obviously get prohibitively expensive if you have
more than 1 or 2 developers using it.

I guess only the super rich can develop for CF at this point.

I've been hoping for a Visual Studio extension that provides code hinting
for CFMX8. MS gives Visual Studio Express away free and it is fast and uses
a (relatively) modest 40MB of RAM.

I guess I'll keep hoping.
