I still have CFStudio installed and I use it as a glorified text editor or scratch pad on occasion. Usually to help me look at code from 'View Source' and such.
I've fully switched to Eclipse based for the past two years. Yes, there is a steep learning curve, but not as steep as it was a few years ago. Eclipse itself has matured a lot to make installing and updating plug-ins really easy. CFEclipse has grown a lot in the past two years. With the right set of plug-ins and a good set of snippets I can code very fast. Even CFBuilder is getting better. I've been using CFBuilder since the last CF.Objective() conference. It's getting better. We are still beating up the Adobe Developers on bugs and performance so hopefully by the time it's done its worth the yet to be announced price tag. I've written a blog post or two on getting some of the basics setup and running with CFBuilder. I know many others have written the same for getting started with CFEclipse. In a previous post Mike Chabot mentions that beta testing the first versions of HomeSite may have been a little rough also. Well, I know they were as I was alpha and beta testing them back when Nick Bradbury was the owner of HomeSite and then when Allaire bought HomeSite and hired Nick. The editor went though many many many changes and upheavals and flame wars on forums. It was fun and look at what came of it. One of the best, most widely adopted, longest lasting web application development products ever made. The same is happening with CFBuilder.
