"Most people I've spoken to just think Eclipse (not CFEclipse, I might add) is a buggy time-waster which invariably seems to crash too often."
It's funny that you mention this. I've been using Eclipse/CFEclipse for a few years now, and have rarely, if ever, had a problem. Yet the guy next to me had horrific experiences out of the gate, until he did a complete reinstall. He's not a fan of Eclipse at all, and I think that's part of why. On another, similar note: yesterday I did an install of CFE using Pulse, adding in Subversive, UML2, and a few other things. Crazy easy to do. I'll be happy when they're listing more projects, and I can see it as another delivery method for Adobe for Flex and for the CF extensions.
