Many years ago I had A file mangled by dreamweaver and then recovered it
from a backup and lost a few minutes of work and stopped using that
version of Dreamweaver.
A couple years ago, about the time that the cfeclipse project was
started, there was an alternative Eclipse-based CF-ide project created
by someone else. For a brief period they seemed to be in faily stiff
competition. This was at the time before many people had adopted it. And
at the time I decided to try out the other one (not CFE, but still
eclipse-based - don't remember the name offhand). During installation,
it asked where your working file set was located. I told it where to
find my working files and viola! It torched not just A file, but rather
EVERY file in my project (which had to be recovered from backup).
Today, after several years of using more recent versions of Dreamweaver
(and 6 months of a newer version of Eclipse), I've not seen a single
file damaged.
So for myself, just on the balance of probability, Dreamweaver wins.
That's the problem with availability heuristics.
