I've been using DW since the first MX release as a code editor. I don't go into design view (I never went into it in CFStudio either). I turn off most panels and toolbars and work with just the files panel and code window (I'm a keyboard shortcut junkie). It's brilliant - extensible, customisable, powerful. Code hinting for CF, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. SVN in the new version although I used an extension for SVN support in CS3. FTP and SFTP out of the box. People used to say "it's too slow compared to HomeSite/CFStudio" but these people have now moved to Eclipse, which I find performs unacceptably slowly, even on a high spec machine with plenty of RAM. In fact, there's a real Eclipse gestapo that try to imply that you're not a real coder unless you're using it, which annoys me no end. Believe it or not, all of the front end developers I know, who work in HTML, CSS and JavaScript only, spend most of their time in code view too - WYSIWYG is not an effective development tool for creating any kind of site, imho. -- Kay Smoljak business: www.cleverstarfish.com coldfusion: kay.smoljak.com personal: enterthegoatlady.com | heapsbad.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:306303 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
