It was when it first came out so I am a bit hazy on the details. I am connected over the network to our dev, staging and Prod servers. I really can't develop locally. I have no problem with CFE/Aptana. But DW can be sluggish at times.
Since I had one license (and not aware that I could do two installs) I had CFB on my personal lappy so I could use it @ work and home. It was a 1 yr old HP consumer model -- 2.3 duel core, 4 gig ram, etc. Not fast but not slow either. I just remembering it was really sluggish and took forever to gather all the intellesense info for cfc's and all that. And after it spidered Devel it was just a dog. I mean *typing* took forever, scrolling a page made is stutter and stall. It was constantly stalling and or freezing up for 30 seconds to 5-10 + minutes at a time. Very frustrating. So after a couple of days of reading up on it and finding work-a-rounds I needed to get stuff done and went back to CFE. Don't get me wrong. I was really psyched about CFB. I am a certified IDE junky. Hell, I even wrote Ray Camden and asked if he could get me into the Beta program. I am starting to use it @ home recently and it works great on smaller projects. I mean it is a really good tool. Actually now that I can have two installs I am going to try it @ work again with the update. Thanx G! Oh yeah. Thanx for making pagination.cfc. I use it all the time.
