I guess that depends on your development style. I use CFE at work and at home. Work is a team environment, while home is solo. I use almost all of the features at home just as I do at work, and find that I am far more productive for it. Yes, it took some trial and error for me to figure out MY optimal configuration of Eclipse, but it's plugin architecture and configurability has been invaluable.
I use: The Web Tools Platform build of Eclipse Flex Builder plugin CFEclipse plugin Aptana plugin CF8 plugins Subclipse plugin (w/SvnAnt in the Ant dirs for running Subversion tasks through Ant) Mylyn looks good, so I'll probably see how that will affect workflow. I'm also considering the Green Project plugin for UML modeling direct within Eclipse. As an aside, you can download an all-in-one Eclipse+CFEclipse install from the CFE site for vanilla editing (doesn't take additional plugins well, so I went custom). I downloaded, installed, opened to the default workspace (without creating one specifically), went to the 'File Explorer' Tab (next to Navigation and Snippets), opened a file on my system, that wasn't in a pre-defined project, and edited away with no issues.
