Thanks for the Dreamweaver tip...I'll see if making that annoyance go away will make Dreamweaver more usable for me.
However, beg to differ on the CFBuilder example. If you're not working in a project, go file > new > coldfusion page. If you're not in a project, you can't do a thing. Useless. I realize that this is an Eclipse behavior, but it's useless, and it's why I don't use Eclipse for Java dev, either. Yes, I can edit existing files on the filesystem.
