I've been running CFBuilder standalone with my other common plugins
added to that install as my main setup since day one, across 1.0 and
2.0 versions. Works great. The only problem I've had is that some of
my more advanced plugins won't install in a bare CFBuilder install
because of dependencies on a number of other Eclipse bits and pieces.
However, due to the work I do with those plugins, it's actually easier
to have separate Eclipse instances with specific sets of plugins for
certain projects (notably the Scala IDE plugin).

Right now I have CFBuilder 2 (an awesome upgrade BTW) with EGit and
CCW (Clojure IDE plugin). I have a separate Helios install for working
on Clojure itself (with EGit, CCW, Maven support and a bunch of other
stuff) since I'm a committer on the clojure.java.jdbc library. I have
another, older Eclipse install for working on Flex and JBoss projects.

I find that having separate Eclipse setups works better if you have
really complicated project setups, rather than trying to have a one
size fits all Eclipse install with every plugin known to man...
