I've been using it for a few months now, and I'm pretty happy with it overall. Definitely lightweight, and has "bundles" (plugins) for both ColdFusion and Railo. But hey... we digress. This is the coming out party for CFBuilder! So to address your CFBuilder related points... I agree that $299 is not a bad price. It's a great price if you need FlashBuilder... but even if not... if it makes you more productive for a few hours, you've recovered your investment.

And I wish you my kind of success. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
