Exactly.  I need a Ford F-150, they've delivered a Caterpillar 797B.

I don't use a Mac personally, but I can second this anyway.  There are
several people in our office who use Mac and have been very happy with
TextMate.  They even extended the bundles to work with our in-house
development framework.  I tried the "E" editor for Windows, which supports
TextMate bundles, but it just wasn't my style.

I agree.  $300 for a tool that makes you more productive isn't a lot to ask.
Heck, we just had a client drop $400 for Fusion Reactor so we could debug an
issue with their server.  It would have taken hours to crawl through their
code by hand to find the problem (way more than $400 in time anyway), so it
was a bargain.  If you buy CF Builder you're probably going to use it for
several years, so if it saves you a little bit of time each day that will
add up to some significant savings over the long-term.  In my case, the IDE
and project concept just gets in my way, so it actually slows me down, but
for those who work within the concepts that it's designed for I'd say it's a
fair deal.
