I'm not exactly sure what part of that would make you sorry about something. But whatever I said that made you sorry, I was simply being honest. I'd prefer to remain honest and make people sorry, than not remain honest to make them happy. > Actually, I have gotten some good perspectives and while I think it could be > cheaper my aim was to get a discussion > going about it because I have been away for a while. I just wish you had > offered a wider perspective on it. When you start a conversation, you set the tone for that conversation. In a conversation about development tools, saying "$300 is crazy expensive, and it should be cheaper" sets the tone for that conversation as one that won't turn out to be very useful. But in any case, I'm not sure what perspective you think I should have offered. So here's another perspective. Development tools are as much a matter of personal taste as measurable effectiveness. You really have to evaluate them to find out if they work for you. Some people prefer CF Builder. Others prefer CFEclipse. Still others prefer Dreamweaver. And so on. If price is the absolutely most important factor, you'll probably prefer CFEclipse over CFB. Again, though, you have to take things as they are. If you think CFB is too expensive, don't buy it. That's really your only option. Finally, I note that you've been in two threads today that have been pretty argumentative. I don't think that's coincidental. I've been in dozens of threads this week probably, and these two are the only ones that have turned out that way. I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions from that.
